Day 12: A light house made on, hmm, Saturday

Day 12 - Monday

Monday, the first day-light-savings Monday,  hard to wake Monday, a lot of work Monday. By the time I finished my work, it was late in the evening. Not sure what to do, I went on Khan Academy and took some electronic engineering lessons, then browsed wide-eyed the projects on instructables.

However, Yung has somehow caught the maker bug and tried to make a fan. Later Annya joined in. Using the lid from plastic box, we helped them cut up two fans of three leaves (?), they hooked it up with a motor and 9v battery. Whoa, the fan swirled, nearly cut Yung's arm. They squeaked in delight.

Other than that, Emma and Annya also caught the maker bug. On Saturday night, while I made my little crappy orange bug light, they were busy building a light house. Got to show it!
