[http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/SLOM/ The Secret Life of Machines] is an amazing TV series from 1988-1993.

We shall be getting a projector and watching a few of these episodes together. It would also be fantastic if we can reconstruct some of the live demos from the show. If appropriate we can modernise a few. For instance we could investigate how a Dyson works after watching &quot;The Secret Life of the Vacuum Cleaner&quot;.
