2. “Wreck Your Tech”
Taking apart gadgets such as a travel alarm clock, disposable camera, headphones, propelling pencil or a TV remote control is a great way to explore beneath the surface of objects, to find out and question how something works or how it was made. In our world, all the gadgets we use in our everyday lives rely on scientific principles that have been discovered by scientists. But it is engineers and designers who develop new products; they need to have a working knowledge of those scientific principles, so that the products do the jobs they are supposed to do reliably.
You can find and code any physical computing device (a Microbit, a Beebot, a Hummingbird—anything you can program) to propose a solution to a larger issue or identify a piece of technology in your home that is no longer used and take it apart to see how it works!
