Bring That Beat Back!!!!!

Ok, Check this out.  Some super cool projects from the MAKE GURUS at Piner High School. We have been deep into making IPOD dock stations.  Each student gets the chance to make their own dock station. Only one rule.  It cannot be a box. Check out their skillzzzzzzzz.


Start with design ideas.
Always a watchful eye.

Inspired by the great pyramids

Electrical Madness!

I know , I know, its been way too long since the last update. It has been really busy around Piner High School Make class. We have been soldering and building circuits out of old deconstructed electronics. Making something from old trash is always exciting. Check it out.


Task: Using old electrical junk, Find a fan, an LED and any switch. With teacher provided 9v battery
make the switch turn on the LED and fan.

Removing switches form old circuit boards





 Team work is an awesome part of Making






Success!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
