…aft) Recovered complete workshop content from veronicagg's 3.6-year-old PR NuevoFoundation#336: - 6 markdown pages: intro, learning concepts, components, setup, build, step-by-step - 45 images: circuit diagrams, component photos, build progress shots - 2 SVG box cut-out templates (printable) - Fixed shortcode syntax for current Hugo ({{% children /%}}) - Applied standard collapsed TOC pattern - Kept draft: true so it won't appear on live site until reviewed This is a complete beginner-level hardware workshop teaching circuit basics through building a 'useless box' — a fun gadget where flipping the switch causes a finger to pop out and flip it back off. Original author: @veronicagg (with @alangerdov and @erikvan32) Based on: PR NuevoFoundation#336 (closing the original as superseded by this fresh PR) Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
