The fun is out there. You have to go get it.

Today has really made me think I could do this:  I could get excited about teaching kids electronics and getting them to use it in design.  I wouldn't be an expert, I'd be continuing to learn with the students as I went along but there's loads to enjoy about electronics – not just big concepts to be scared of.

It's really fun to start the day by destroying a capacitor to see what's inside then ending it using an acid sprayer bath to etch a circuit board with my own design on it, which will include and integrated circuit.  It helps that Circuit Wizard is such a functional, user-friendly programme.  I wonder how much of this I'll be able to recall in a useful way after the summer holiday!
