CSTEP student presented a two part “Science of Light” Workshop

Summer 2012

CSTEP student Chris Sleys presented a two part “Science of Light” workshop with STEP students this past summer. MVCC STEP students worked with circuitry to construct their own “TV-B-Gone” remote, a device for turning off most televisions on the market today. Additionally students received instruction on safety procedures for working with a soldering iron. Sixteen STEP students learned about the workings of the standard model TV-B-Gone, which consists of an infra-red LED, two CR2032 cells and an integrated circuit containing the television power code database. All students enjoyed the day and were especially excited to use their remotes on unsuspecting family and friends.
