'What? That should be a project for kids?' I hear some people saying. 'Isn't that dangerous?'

Yes, it can be. You might hurt yourself. And you will get dirty.
But also, you will have fun. And learn a lot.

Not convinced?

Then watch this great talk from Gever Tully on 5 dangerous things you should your kids let do

Interesting appliances to disassemble: Washing machines, tumble dryers, dish washers, but also electronic devices like printers, scanners, CD drives, hard discs, ...

Before you throw something like this away: Disassemble it first! 

And here some pics where my son and myself disassembled our tumble dryer (and repaired it!)
