I’m trying to come up with a way to regularly “give back” at DMS. I’m looking for suggestions.
I’ve thought about classes, but haven’t really found any topic that seems to have wider interest. It occurred to me that one way to learn about the need is just to be present. Do y’all think and electronics area “office hours” maybe every other week or so would be useful. The downside is I’m not available on consistent days so it would vary, but I could schedule them a month or two in advance. Probably mostly weekday evenings.
I have taught a really basic electricity/electronics course think: “Getting to Blinky” level. No math beyond four-banger calculator, learn to use a multi-meter and ID some parts. It was cool because kids under 16 were allowed with family members over 16. Might be a good ‘open’ class available to DMS as well as non-DMS folks.
