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 there a fix-it community that pops up in Pasadena that has been addressing this. I don’t know if you’re LA local but if you are I can send more info if you want.
@ErickaSimone I've volunteered with them before! That's a great group of people
@MLE_online good to hear. You deserve your own class at this point. lol.
