Daily Idea #283: How Does It Work?

We all have an antiquated electronic device sitting around doing nothing. I’ll admit, I have a Walkman, more than one game boy, a mini disc recorder… And for what am I saving them? I have no idea.

For today’s daily idea, I am letting my kids take apart one of the electronics (they will have to work together as I am not ready to part with more than one) to see how the components all come together inside. One person can take pictures of the process while another one takes the electronic piece of equipment apart. Another person can be in charge of collecting all of the tiny screws and parts that will inevitably come from said electronic.
