  5. Video: Personal Finance for Young Adults: Introduction to Investing

    This is an #introductory #presentation about #personalfinance for #teens. Formula for #financialindependence, #FI and #success is: Earn money, Spend less than you Earn, Invest the rest, and don’t get into debt. This is part four, an #introduction to #investing. We look at a basic #ETF and discuss #compoundinterest. The #CanadianMoneyTalk channel concentrates on #Canadianinvesting and #personalfinance

  26. Last night I did a tutorial for my #introductory #astronomy class looking at stellar evolution and how the chemical composition of the #stars has changed over the history of the #universe. Then I wake up to hear Prof Catherine Heymans (Astronomer Royal for Scotland) talking about one of the youngest and most distant #galaxies ever found, thanks to #JWST and why it might be so bright. Here’s the story: esawebb.org/news/weic2406/?lan

  31. Electronics beginner kits

    I’ve been looking at several of these on eBay and they all seem to be to be too complex to start a person off with

    Admittedly what a manufacturer would like to call a ‘beginner’ kit with a ‘random’ selection of useful components is likely to be whatever surplus nonsense they can get cheap, so there’s that

    But even from the sellers that seem to be putting effort in (and charging appropriately) there’s really no such thing as a beginner’s electronics starter kit these days

    I might put one together myself and see how this project goes over time (no big hurry) – I’m pretty sure I can pick a useful selection of components and parts that would
    really work for starting youngsters off on the path to electronics

    For a start, I’d have a few battery holders with flying leads and some old-fashioned little torch light bulbs (still available) (prob 3V would do, a pair of AA would suffice) and hookup wire and croc clips and stuff, although, those old big plastic (still available) torch light bulb holders have screw terminals so that’s good

    Then some switches, a wire wound variable resistor if available (or carbon track one that can handle torch lightbulb current without scorching the track) and that’s stage 1, really, that’s all you need to begin – more than one bulb, more than one switch, series configurations, parallel configurations, that’s a lot to learn really – the explanations can be on little cards accompanying this little selection, how to hook it up, what exactly is happening

    Then from there, add more in a meaningful progression

    What most of the starter kits you can get now have is a breadboard and hookup wires and little breadboard PSU, a selection of resistors, caps, LEDS, tiny push buttons, few other things like that, and then the next step up they go all the way to chucking in an arduino! (Cheap clone of course, and I mean cheap)

    It might be an impressive component count and didn’t cost much, but in reality it’s not actually useful – the ones you can get for about twelve quid

    We can do better
