Volunteering: Fun at Athens Makers

Featured photo details:

Had a fun time suggesting dangerous ideas to Maddie at Athens Makers. Here, she’s making an evil scientist face as she tests a snap circuits project with added heavy paper blades to the fan.

 

After suggesting things like adding heavy paper blades and making the device higher, I tried to get her to experiment with alarms and lights and she reminded me of myself because she just went for it instead of looking up and following directions. She was able to get the light going, but not the alarm, and went back to having fun with the dangerous flying objects.

I played with Snap Circuits for the first time and was able to make a sound activated light and sound. Nicholas (Maddie’s brother) came by and tried to use an alarm on another SC setup to trigger the one I had.
