school club

yesterday at club I was teaching and one kid seemed to be very interested in electronics.I thought him a couple of the basic electrical components and there schematic forms.sense he remembered every thing so well I gave him a challenge.That challenge was to look up the resister color code and memorise it.So the next day i bumped into his brother at school and he told me that he had memorized the resistor color code,and was Reading it!I was sooooooo surprised when his brother told me because he memorized the resister code in one day!
