Hey kids,
  If I were to schedule another Broken Toy Autopsy Day in Marble Falls for a saturday would anyone be able to make it? I had about 25 kids(3rd to 5th graders) show up today and it was alot of fun but I was totaly overwelmed. We managed to take apart a bunch of broken CD and tape players, fax machines, walking dragons, and cameras. They did a great job of pulling the useable motors out and hook them up to the battery packs and see them turn. The Library gave us a big box of computer parts for the kids that didn't have anything to take apart so we had a bunch of potential secret drawers that would slide out and back(cd tray mechanisems almost allway still work). We'll see what they end up doing with them.
