Day 1 of the jota 2009

My experience of day 1 of the mauritius Jota was quite good. I arrived at BP house at 13 o’clock and ready to help in the electronic workshop. After the official opening of the event by the chief comissionner, the activities started.

I was responsible to animate the electronic workshop and had two groups of about 14 scouts that was eager for knowledge. I started by introducing them to the difference between electic and electronics. After the introduction, I make them familiarise themselves with the different components found on regular electronics board, while introducing them to the resistors and capacitors with the help of analogies of dogs and water tanks. The children were quite receptive to the materials proposed to them.

After my session, I used my free time to do some photo shots with my digital camera (Samsung L110) and play with my newly discovered feature ( Exposure time). I also use part of my time to eat ( yes it is important to renew the energy after that day)
