When I was little (probaby 5-12) I loved taking things to pieces rather than making them! I’d take old radios and computers to pieces as I loved looking at all the resistors, capacitors and other pieces inside and trying to work out what they did!
When I got a bit older I made a few basic circuits – buzzers, doorbells, weather sensors. Finally when I went to university I got to make things like small micromice (robots that follow white lines) and for my final project I made a display for a car (like the ones with sat-nav, radio and climate control) using hardware, software and a car rig we’d designed!
Now I don’t get that much time to work on my projects aside from fixing things that break at home – I would love to build a kit car at some point!
