She built her own circuit! 😍 I'm an electrician and I react exactly the same way🤓

My brother was a gifted child. At age 4, he already understood the basics of electricity and built simple circuits with motors and propellers from disassembled toys. On one occasion, my Dad was using an electric drill, the old metallic type, and my brother -3 or 4 years old, was watching. At some point, my Dad received an electric shock and let out a shout as he let the drill drop. When he turned around, my brother had unplugged the appliance. He could not have been more than 4 years old.

Low voltage DC is also fun and generally safer.

I’d be more enthusiastic about this if there was at least a gfci

On mains! So scary!!! Let's get her a couple of 1.5V batteries, some wire, a resistor & an led, please! 🤓

I'm too European for this ;)

This is dope. Girl Dad life is the best.

She is going to make some man very lucky someday. It is awesome when fathers teach daughters mechanical and electrical skills.

I was 40 when I made my first one. I thought it would gonna bloque up 😱 but no, it worked. It's a great feeling! 😊

I’m sorry, but this is like being impressed that your kid learned how to shoot a pistol before they learned the basic safety rules shooting. Yeah, it’s good to teach stuff, but safety comes first, for good reason

I took Construction Electricity in Vocational school. The class would get on the other side of the classroom while the student flicked the switches. Sometimes it was catastrophic!

Well done, young lady.

Common reaction for “master of the electron!!”

The first dose of dopamine.. Congrats on your win 🏅

I put in 2 outlets and 1 switch that controls one outlet. I did that same dance when it worked the first try. LOL.

Great! But I don't think starting your electricity studies (this is her first circuit, is it?) with high voltage of 240V (or whatever yours is) is the best idea. You can do the same thing (and even more interesting things) with batteries, and it's much safer for child.

Power transformer and rectifier bridge next? After that I'd jump straight to biasing triodes. ;-)

lol I was her age snuck my moms alarm clock and mine to the kitchen table and connected them together to make a louder alarm clock. didn't work so good.

Wire biter nerd! Not all nerd types are money makers but wire biters are one of those that can become a career without a boss! Love seeing a nerd nerd out! Especially a young person finding their nerd!! Love it!

Always surprised when it works

You rule, dad!

Cool AF. Excellent work dad!

And so it starts.

If every American dad was like this, we would be the wonder of the world, the way Germany was in the 30s and 40s. Raising your kids as STEM adventurers should be a civic religion.

I don't see any garbage and wire clippings on the floor, she failed as a electrician.......lol

Now she justs needs to dip her hands in grease so she can fuck up the paint on the walls

Usually one would do this with a 9V battery and a small bulb, for safety reasons. But I do love her excitement!

I think I would have been a good dad. The only son I did have I abandoned when he was 3. Yeah, I was a POS back then. I was 18 and stupid. Now, I'm pushing 60, and well, still likely stupid but I often regret not having more children when i matured. I TRIED rebuilding my relationship with my estranged son, but, rightfully so, he wants nothing to do with me. Can't say I blame him.

She is soooo cooked, AI will do that in no time (it's a joke. moments like she has here is what to live for)

Now add some IoT stuff and actuators to the circuit.

@VendettaJones It's a little future Inventor! You go girl! I'm an Inventor!

When your coworker red seal finally figures out the three-way ;)

The first time you wire a new outlet or light you realize how incredibly easy it is. The most difficult part of being a home electrician is learning the 10 million codes to follow like outlets must be exactly 6" from floor, 1 every 2.5', etc.

Great work. I love that you taught her the importance of safety first.

Cool
