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 Great idea! My dad was a master at this stuff, rehabilitating parts and machines. Fancy bottles turned into lights, literally using human hair inside circuitry (canʼt remember why now), using paper to fix an LCD, and tons of stuff I donʼt remember.
