How to Hack Your Remote Control (1-to-1 class)
Students take apart a remote control (e.g. TV remote) and see what's inside, in this fun 1-hour class. They’ll learn the science behind this amazing tech, and ways of hacking it for use in their own electronics projects.

Description
Class Experience
👉 Remote control with working batteries - this can be for a TV, air-conditioner, DVD player, stereo, whatever! 👉 Flat-head screwdriver or blunt non-serrated butter knife (2x is preferable) 👉 Old credit card or bit of thin hard plastic 👉 Tin foil (just a little bit) If your remote has screws which you can see when you take off the battery cover on the back, you'll also need: 👉 Small Phillips screwdriver 👉 Jar lid 👉 Pen + paper & scissors ✂📝
55 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
Students may need support with prizing open the remote - this can be a little tricky on some remotes. I show students how to do this safely.
