E-Lab
No-Skill Tasks
- Clean the benches
- Any crap on the bench that you can't obviously put away, shuffle to the other bench.
- Wipe down the surface, removing as much gunk as you can. Solvent? Dealer's choice, but windex works great and is mild on plastics.

- Clean the floor
- Coordinate this with the classroom, either before or after their activity.
- Open the windows or do something for fresh air, cuz yikes.
- Move all the totes and crap on the floor, into the classroom.
- Vacuum, including picking the little wire bits out of the carpet that the vac can't get.
- Move everything back, and if it doesn't seem like it belongs on the floor, leave it on a bench.
- Grab green tape and rewrite fading labels on shoeboxes
- Don't worry about the drawers, those are their own project.
Electronics Nerd Tasks
- Go through all the crap left on the benches from the above, and figure out where it goes.
- Defrag the test-lead rack according to the green labels underneath.
- Take pictures of any gear that doesn't have a wiki page and post those pics in #elab on slack
- Some of us germophobes can take it from there.
Supplies Needed
- Windex, optionally with a splash of alcohol
- Paper towels
- Possibly a filter bag for whatever vacuum cleaner is in use, cuz this is likely to fill one.
