Students in David McConiga's Principles of Computer Science class at BJSHS had fun opening up several computers to see whether they could identify the CPU, RAM and other hardware. They discovered that a computer repair career requires a lot of manual dexterity, patience, and logical thinking! We are very grateful to Five Star Technologies for donating these obsolete computers for us to work on!
Nice work, Bruins!
