Father and Son Build Awesome Button

Nick Carter and his son Henry were browsing Goodwill when Henry spotted a Staples Easy Button for sale and wanted to try using it to make an Awesome Button, our DIY USB synonym generator project. Neither of them had much experience with electronics projects, and despite some difficulty with the soldering iron, they managed to get the project working:

[Henry] also learned that horseplay and soldering irons don’t mix. It was some good father-son time and I didn’t take any process pictures because we were having too much fun (and trying to keep him from burning himself again on the soldering iron.) […] I’m almost as new to electronics as Henry so it’s nice that we can learn together.

Kudos to Nick and Henry on the successful build! It looks like you had an awesome incredible time building it together.
