So this was Aiden's eagle project. He had been stalling getting it together for several months. As summer began, I took away all his video gaming paraphernalia and told him he could get them back as soon as his eagle project was 100% complete. That kicked him into gear. Two weeks later, he had it all planned, scheduled, and completed. He had to work hard to accomplish it in that amount of time, but he did it!
Aiden chose to record stories for the blind. He contacted The Society for the Blind in Sacramento. He gathered all his friends' computers to the church. And people came in and read stories into a computer set up in a classroom. He had to get trained by the Society, and then train his fellow scouts to help the people that came in. This was the check-in table.
Here is Sis. Barker sitting at a computer just about to record something.
Aiden organized a system for people to find the necessary classrooms. The doors were numbered, and they could follow the tape on the floor.
Here are people in the waiting area waiting for a computer to open up.
This is Aiden and Dad cleaning up at the end of the long day. Aiden's project went from 10 am to 4 pm. He was at the church from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm.
When Aiden got home, he crashed on the couch.
After the recordings were finished, Aiden and his friends spent several more days burning them onto cd's. This is Aiden outside the Society for the Blind headquarters delivering his cd's to the volunteer coordinator.
