Blenders Are a Buzzing - Update II

After a lot of idea sharing, planning and hard work, we have reached the middle of the blender!
With the help of Mr. Telford, our amazing custodian, we were able to take apart even more of the blender than what we had already achieved.
Inside we found a lot of crazy brown wires that were all bundled together. Many of us thought that this was probably what made the blades turn when we pushed the buttons on the outside. We also discovered there were different coloured wires that attached to the back of the buttons that were actually all joined together. Mr. Telford told us that this was because all of them use the same brain, but that each button made the blades turn faster or slower. Awesome!



Check back soon for a third, and probably final, update as we continue to take apart even more of the blender!

PS- A BIG thank you goes out to Mr. Telford for taking the time to help us out and share his thoughts with us!
