Old Computer Used for Educational Activity

The kid wanted to build something with this -- I should have let him and launched a startup. Instead I told him we were going to drop the neat package off for recycling.

Here's an activity for a rainy day. Take a PC and open it up and teach the kids the following parts:

• Power supply
• Graphics card
• RAM chips
• Motherboard
• Hard drive
• Media drive
• CPU

Tell them what each part does. If they pass the test allow video games to be played for nine hours.
