Hello all,
I took the Mike to school today. I have been making the odd attempt at trying to snare the next generation of model makers and give them some inspiration.
I told year eight after doing aeronautics in our mandatory technology class for the last 10 weeks that I would show them what else I build in my spare time. Took my mike class and put it into the room before class and had some year 10's follow me in asking questions. It was a good show and tell for about 10 minutes before the start of their classes. Most were amazed that you could make a sub RC and the inevitable question about camera's also came up. I don't know if anyone else has found this but I have never been asked 'what class of sub is it?'
So I showed year 8 and got some really good response. Tried to explain too them that there is more to Industrial Arts, Woodwork and metal work that just making pencil boxes and candlelabra.. I tried to impress upon them that you gotta love problem solving if you want to get into this caper and building them takes more than 5 minutes........
I was also told by a colleague that I should take the contract for the new subs and save the government some money. What I could do with 50 billion....
