This workshop is for participants who have attended “Taking Apart and Exploring Electrical Devices: Level 1.”* Take part in a workshop by social enterprise IDEAL MISTAKES HUB, where you can take apart discarded household electrical devices, learn how they work with RTU students, and give electrical components a second life!

Workshop topic: We’ll look at what LED bulbs are made of and learn how to repair them.

PLAN
- We’ll review workshop safety before working with electrical devices.
- Together, we’ll take apart several broken devices (tools will be provided!).
- RTU student Linards Reinis Rozītis will explain what’s inside the devices and the basic principles of how they work.
- With workshop creativity facilitator Kristīna Virse, we’ll use creative thinking and brainstorm ways to give discarded equipment a second life.
