Emily VelascoI 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
MrGrumpyMonkey@MLE_online Why stop at the Community College level. We need this as early as Jr. High School, if not earlier. I could imagine a bunch of engineers ready to take on the world and put companies out of business, just due to what was learned extremely early on. But, I can get behind this option. I sure wish I had something like this. Alas, I got to learn about other less interesting things.
