Tearin it up.

Today, Rob and Owen took apart several electrical gadgets trying to understand how they worked.

Batteries Not Included

Today we began to make a Battery Pack out of Nickels, Pennies, and H2O.  We tested it on a LED (light emitting diode), and discovered that the Water was not much of an electrolyte.  Next time we'll add salt.

We also discussed some of the ways to help the seniors use Linux when they get to college.  One way would be to create a bootable jump drive.
