Computers, and their interconnection via the Internet, have changed how human beings communicate, do business, fall in love, research scientific questions, and participate in civic duties. Terms such as 'processor', 'memory', silicon chip' and 'Megahertz' are commonplace in our culture, yet most people, even computer professionals, don't have much understanding how the physical machines work. In this directed study, delegates will learn first-hand how each component works and how they fit together, as the group builds two new computers which will then become standing members of the NYSC's Computer Science lab.
