Tinker Town...
Recently, the LMC made tools and old electronics available for curious students to disassemble. The response has been positive! Several students sat down with the non-working game consoles to explore their inner workings...after making sure it was REALLY ok to take them apart!
So...now we're looking for more used electronics (nothing too large or heavy!) and small hand tools (pliers, screwdrivers, rubber mallets, wrenches)!
