Picaxe Projects
Posted by News
If you are making small electronic projects with students, an old box that housed a VHS tape makes a great little container.
Sourcing these can be difficult. There is the innvitable cleanup at the library, but there is another. As video stores move from tapes to DVD, there is a whole lot of blank boxes left. These were for sending movies home while the original cover stayed in the shop. I asked our video guy for his old ones and he gave me over 100 ! Half were immediately claimed by the our Science teacher running electronics for the Falcon Flyer project. (A racer made from salvaged CD drives).
There still must be thousands of these around, earmarked for the rubbish tip.
