I found a great project, probably for Electronic Research and Experimentation, you can find it here. Any way it is worth a look for anyone interested in straighting up their desk area from all those cords.

If you are considering Animatronics, I created a search of keywords at Google. Keep looking through the first several pages, look for the links to makezine and instructables. This is an excellent site for ideas also. Lets get started on this project. Also Halloween is a good place to get ideas.

Good Place for Ideas

When you are thinking about making a project for one of the TSA contests, many people ask me what they should do? My answer most of the time is “What do you want to do?” Most people will say “I don’t know.”

How do you know what to do? What interests you? What would you like to see happen? Still don’t know?

I would suggest that you look over the following links. Make Magazine and Instructables are a good source of ideas that people have come up with to improve their life. In addition it gives step by step instructions on how to do the projects mentioned. Just read down thru the list of items people have made and find something that interests you. Then begin to formulate a plan to make something of your own. Just be sure to document what you do.

“Many elderly need a little extra help during this time of year” said Ms. Sandefur, “We are very grateful that these young men and women of TSA thought of our adults that can use some extra help this Christmas season.”

“Christmas is a time of giving and we did not want to forget our elderly folks at this time of year.” said Chase Campbell. Each year TSA does a variety of activites and events. TSA is a nationwide student association focusing on developing skills to prepare young people for the challenges of a dynamic world by promoting technological literacy, leadership, and problem solving, resulting in personal growth and opportunities.
