Computer Take-A-Part Event

Wednesday, October 20

5:30PM-7:30PM

Building 800 Room 810

Groups of 2-3 individuals will work with a mentor to test a computer to make sure it works; to take the computer apart while removing all key components and explaining what each one does and the purpose it serves; and then put it back together again. Finally, there will be a test, in the end, to make sure they still work as they did at the beginning.  This should be an eye-opening event for anyone who’s somewhat afraid of “opening up the box” as we will be thinking outside of the box in this case. Individuals will never be fearful of the parts and pieces of a desktop computer again (hopefully) and no animals will be hurt during this presentation.
