We’ve got a couple of these coming up this year. The first one is at Bennet Woods on March 18.
Setup: 5:30
Start: 6:15

Looking for two more volunteers. Please reply below if you are able to join!
This is an opportunity for the kids (around 10-11 years old) to pick up a screwdriver and take apart some old junk like VCRs, radios, and other household items. They always love it, and it’s fun to watch them doing it.
LMN brings the tools and safety glasses, and the school takes care of procuring the junk. Staffing the event is pretty straightforward. We put some tools on the table, lay out some take-apartables, and then make sure the kids wear the safety glasses. And remind them to leave them behind when they’re done. At the end of the evening we put the carcasses into bins and pack up our tools.
This sounds fun. I’m in if you need someone else. It reminds me of a time when I was about 12 and my mom came home to find her turntable disassembled. She insisted it was ruined and that I wouldn’t be able to put it back together. After about an hour she let me ‘try’. I don’t know if she was more mad that I took it apart in the first place and that I had no trouble putting it back together.
