What inspired you to make this project?
I have too many band-aids and they need to be used. To give children hands on experience of what is inside every day electrical equipment such as computers, printers, typewriters, cameras, phones, etc. This also helps with recycling equipment - we separate the plastics from the metals and keep electronics (motors, converters, etc) that can be reused.
