🧧 CNY Special DIY Workshop
🔌 Build a Safe, High-Quality Power Extension
Chinese New Year is one of the busiest times at home — and also one of the highest-risk periods for electrical overload and household fires.
During festive periods, many households:
- Use multiple high-power appliances at the same time
(steamboat, air fryer, kettle, oven) - Rely on cheap multi-socket adaptors or extension cords
- Buy appliances or extensions online that are under-rated or poorly built
This workshop is designed for everyday users to understand what is safe, what is risky, and how to make better decisions when using household electricity.
What You’ll Learn & Do
- Simple understanding of household electricity and power limits
- How to identify safe vs unsafe extension cords and adaptors
- What common safety marks mean — and what they don’t
- How to spot misleading or fake markings on online products
- How to use power extensions safely at home
Hands-On DIY Session
Participants will build one properly rated power extension using:

No technical background required.
Fire Safety Awareness
