On the long route to setting the centre up, we have been collaborating with Hampshire County Council. Last week we made a huge step forward and we thank the staff of HCC. The 'shaking the science out of the box', soon operational.
We plan to use this as part of 'whats in the box' program. This also includes the environmental awareness of whats in the box, the effort in making the box, using it and environmental impact on repair, reuse and recycleing the box.
We will sort the recycled tinkered box's and make use and punk the rest.
We have put a list of items that are required. These include:
Telescopes
Microscopes
Remote controlled items (working or not)
Motors out of products, small ones including stepper motors
Arrays of leds, all those ones where the battery gave up.
Timers out of products
Metal detectors
Sensors, transducers and meters
Avo's, multimeters, digital thermometers, scales
Cameras, still and video
Old fashioned mechanical items like clocks and cameras
Scientific equipment
Battery opoerated power tools (where motor still working)
Larger items may be considered.
Any thing that you feel would be interested to shake the science out of, please call us on 01243 576890 or email us via the www.timemachinefun.com website. The plan is to get it before it goes to the dump and shake the science out of it. An enriching science and technology process.
Thanks given to Fred Diange and the How programme, you inspiration led to the timemachinefun project being set up. The power of television!
