13 TechCampers between 10 and 15 finished a week of learning the parts of the computer, the binary number system, and motherboard connections along with hands on experience disassembling and reassembling desktops, laptops, copiers, and hard drives. They also had games such as RUSH Repair, CD Toss, Mouse sling, and Shuffle KEYboard.
Next week the campers get their computers and learn about updates, security, malware, safe computing, and windows settings. Friday is graduation with a spaghetti dinner and awards.
