[SGVHAK] [SGVTech] Los Angeles FIRST Tech Challenge Regional Championship

[Lan Dang]

That was a lot of fun, but I think we'd have to start stocking up on those old hard drives.
I have a lot of old peripheral cards that I took off someone's hands several years ago.  I don't know what I was thinking.  I think they are mostly NIC cards.Is there any tinkering we can do with those?  Or exercises in desoldering?

How about a Hard Drive Disassembly table?

I'd like to invite you to consider running a booth and promoting your organization at the event.  You could have an activity, do a demo, have some items for show and tell, or just hand out fliers that could appeal to kids and/or adults.  And it's all free.
