I want to teach a class on repurposing electronics. We could start out just taking some broken things apart and seeing if we can fix them, but every student would have to pick something to repurpose or revive as a semester-long project. Maybe they want to turn an old propane lantern into an LED lantern, convert a cordless drill with dead nicad batteries to lithium, or jailbreak an e-bike. Everyone should leave the class with a device or appliance with a new lease on life. A community college should hire me for this
@MLE_online close where I live, there's a monthly thing where a group of professionals help others to fix their broken things. Mostly electronics etc. The people who frequent there also help out others. Its pretty neat.
@ItsePerkele we have a repair cafe in this area too. I volunteered once. i should do it again
