+... first off: we've got to come up with a better name. That's a must.
+
+But... anyway.
+
+
+## Objective
+*make a programmable circuit board that could be soldered together in one workshop session and programmed in another*
+
+## Hardware
+
+### Outputs
+* LEDs (RGB)
+* Buzzer
+* ~~LCD~~
+* [LED Matrix](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256802212716692.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.35961802DB6WcT&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt&_randl_shipto=US)
+
+### Inputs
+* Potentiometer (Rotary Encoder)
+* ~~Switch~~
+* ~~Button~~
+
+## Microcontroller Considerations
+* AtTiny85 (small, cheap)
+* [ESP-01S](https://www.amazon.com/UMLIFE-ESP8266-ESP-01S-Transceiver-Arduino/dp/B093H28TGH/ref=sr_1_4?crid=UDTZTH0X3ITX&keywords=esp+01s&qid=1677812354&sprefix=esp+01s%2Caps%2C227&sr=8-4)
+* [micro:bit](https://microbit.org/) https://www.sparkfun.com/products/17287
+
+# Activities
+* LED Matrix Word Clock -> https://learn.adafruit.com/neomatrix-8x8-word-clock/overview
+
+#### Other Ideas
+* Removable Matrix Cover (Clock Letters)
+* Could program WLED software
+* Buzzer (could make the clock an *Alarm Clock*)
+* Potentiometer would let us turn things up or down (but that's expensive since the ESP-01S doesn't have an analog input, gross)
