From the project
Create just a basic PCB in one hour.
In programing, "Hello World" is the first program you write when you are learning a new language, so here it is for making printed circuit boards using open source KiCad. This was for a one hour talk at Teardown 2018 in Portland, Oregon. Video of the presentation is on Youtube.
