Citizen Engineer was started in the summer of 2008 as something of a how to show aimed at those above a beginner level. The show is pioneered by Limor Fried and Phillip Torrone of Make Magazine fame. There was one episode produced at the show’s inception, and none since. Despite this infrequency however, there has recently been a little stirring on the official website.

Episodes

Citizen Engineer — Volume 1

Learn how a SIM card works (the small card inside GSM cell phones), make a SIM card reader, view deleted messages, phone book entries and clone/crack a SIM card.

Modify a retired payphone so it can be used as a home telephone and for VoIP (Skype). Then learn how to modify the hacked payphone so it accepts quarters – and lastly, use a Redbox to make “free” phone calls from the modified coin-accepting payphone.

Length: 30 minutes
