What To Cover In a Short "DIY Tech" Course?
edumacator writes "Our school is working hard to provide our students with relevant opportunities of study. We have a short 'seminar' period that meets three days a week for thirty minutes. I've chosen to teach a seminar on 'Home Grown Technology' even though I'm an English teacher and only an amateur techie. If you had thirty minutes, three days a week, for nine weeks, what would you teach a group of high school students? I'm considering the Wii-mote smartboard and multitouch displays, but I'm afraid I'm overreaching."

Seriously, how many photos of hot young girls in the mirror or even worse that look like they're trying to point the camera at themselves.
Do the world a favor, show them that most cameras have a self timer. Heck my Canon has an awesome feature where it'll crank off up to 10 photos after a custom timer delay. Plenty of time to 'get into position'.
The class will be over in 9 months, but they'll still be compiling..
Sure. The V8 on my weed whacker is only 5.7 liters. It's tiny.
I prefer rogues to imbeciles because they sometimes take a rest.

Maybe just soldering, to start with, yeah?
