Busy Week





This week has been a busy but successful week. We have learned about the major internal parts of a desktop computer, such as the heatsink, hard drive and RAM. We have successfully cleaned and upgraded the RAM in 20 machines. Then, reinstalled those machines in the lab and now they are up and running like new.  All my students have worked very hard and done a great job.  Hopefully the lab will run smoother and we will get to dive into all kinds of interesting projects in the weeks to come.
