Shop Class: 12/6

When the students enter the classroom they'll see that the familiar junkyard has been reinstated.

Sitting on the tables are some old coffee grinders.

"Your assignment today is to create a machine that will connect to this old coffee and grind the coffee. The machine can be powered by anything but an actual engine. Anything that powerful would destroy the coffee grinder. Feel free to use anything in the junkyard."

Anders hears "coffee" and his face lights up in a way that might make sane people nervous. He picks out a coffee grinder and then sets to scrounging around the junkyard, eventually coming up with an old bicycle and some metal pieces that he rigs together into a stationary exercise bike.

After several failed attempts, he manages to attach a crankshaft between the bike's rear wheel and the coffee grinder, dumps beans into the hopper, then climbs on the bike and starts pedaling for all he's worth.

Because hey -- exercise and caffeine all at once! Double win!
