The members of SPS often have a chance to learn some physics, or history of physics, during the meetings.  This semester the theme is to learn more about electronics.  The students start with modular electronic kits to learn a bit about what the various components do.  They find out that the schematic for the karaoke machine is incorrect (it is the last one in the book) and they are challenged to make it work correctly.  Several groups are successful.

 

 

One of the sophomore level students has learned the wiring scheme.

 

Aron and Jeff built an alarm

 

Nick tries to get Tiffany to make something cool.

 

He succeeds!  They build a space-ray gun which he then uses to zap Dr. Jacobs

 

The upper division students try to work out the bugs in the karaoke.
