Sam has a portable video player, which is great, other than running out of batteries quickly when it's used for a few hours. To fix the problem, I ordered a MintyBoost kit, which basically lets you charge it off normal batteries instead of a USB cable to your computer.

Sam had a great time soldiering all the parts together, gleefully exclaiming that we needed to do more things like this.

Unfortunately, something went wrong along the way and it doesn't work. I'll have to double-check the soldering and maybe redo some parts. Currently it looks like the part that wasn't done right was one of the few things that I ended up soldering. Oops.
