Noreen Claire Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 DS8 is going to start an electronics/robotics curriculum that has lots of tiny parts. This kid needs lots of help with clean-up of projects and organization of materials. (I am forever picking up books, scissors, legos, robots, and origami from every surface in the house.) Can anyone share their storage and organization set-up for lots of small electronics pieces (and books, tools, raspberry pi, keyboard, mouse, and computer monitor)? Bonus if it can all be put into a container and tucked away at the end of use, as I don't have space to dedicate to it staying out. Thank you very much!

Still waiting for that magical all inclusive solution where all books, raspberry Pi, robotics, keyboard, tools, computer monitors and mouse would reside harmoniously. Meanwhile, we divide and conquer. We have this for small parts. It comes in different configs. https://www.amazon.com/Akro-Mils-10164-Plastic-Storage-Hardware/dp/B000LDH3JC/ref=asc_df_B000LDH3JC/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167133658256&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3298630476386985312&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9026945&hvtargid=pla-195125441595&psc=1 Bonus, if you have a husband who is an electronic/robotic/raspberry pi fanatic himself and passed this on to your boy, it can be a marriage saver as it helps in not making wife/mom crazy 🙄 Tools all live in the garage in tool chests. Computer monitors and we have several attached to one machine you would think we pilot the space shuttle 🙄, all reside on one desk for the user. I particularly recommend the long ikea desks. Again, like father, like son. What did I miss ? Oh books. We have baskets and bookshelves. They also have a tendency to go under beds, on beds, form a tower beside beds and furniture. Trying to corral that. But I contribute to that too, so can't blame the husband and the boy for that. Sorry, not much help, more of rant. Ha! I've been eyeing those storage organizers, but I don't have anywhere to put one. I'm afraid if I got one and then tried to move it that I would dump the whole thing out! My house is already stuffed to the gills with seven people and all their accompanying bookcases/furniture/toys/school/art/piano/whatever that we have no place to dedicate to this stuff. As tedious as it sounds, I *need* to put the monitor, keyboard, parts, books, etc away (basement? closet? garage?) after each time he uses it. So, I guess I am looking for ideas on the micro-level organization of the parts as well as macro-level storage of the entire kit and caboodle.

Good idea - I'll check out the craft storage boxes at Michael's. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
