How Computers Really Work: Raspberry Pi Edition (Grades 10-12)

ID : 43019   
« back to classes page
In collaboration with Kennesaw State University's College of Computing and Software Engineering.

Most people know how to use a computer, and many can write computer programs (code), but how does the computer turn that code into all the wonderful things it can do? This course explains, with hands-on exercises and approachable language, how computers really work, including how images, sounds, and video are represented by numbers and how chips with millions of transistors process those numbers.

Participants will use a digital logic simulator to learn how digital logic within computers works, learn about digital input and control with a Raspberry Pi computer, and take home the textbook for further study.

This course is suitable for people with no prior study of computer systems, although it may be helpful to have experience with a high-level programming language such as Java or Python.

The beginning of the 21st century is an exciting time for those who make, use, and study computers and computer systems, and this course provides the basis for keeping up with the changes that are taking place right now.

The cost includes a textbook that students will use in this course and keep.
