Tinker ☀️

Note for those wanting to do similar at their local libaries... it requires very little overhead. You need a large table or set of tables. You need old junk electronics. And you need a bunch of tools (expect the tools to be abused!).

There was no teaching or slideshows or any prep. Just let people take things apart, explore, and talk to each other.

Thats it!

@tinker that's awesome. My wife just accepted a job as a library director at a library that has been closed since 2018, and is tasked with rebuilding from scratch! I'll pass this on to her (as well as the Seed Bank stuff!)

@rateexportpilot @tinker I hope she's connected with the library fedi?

we're a bit niche here at digipres.club (not that she wouldn't be welcome, she totally would), but glammr.us has lots of cool and helpful people

@tinker figuring out how to take apart a lot of that stuff is an education in itself. Not to mention kids getting to see what an internal drive and so on look like.
