Feb Free Class: Networking and Tron Competition

To spice up learning networking everyone got to make their own ethernet cord (cat5).  The students did a lot better than I did.  Besides making their cord, we learned about ip addresses, modems, routers and switches.  To rap up, we played a big game of Tron all networked together.  Players battled it out for the grand prize of winning their own router (donated by Jeremy).  It came down to Joey and Will in the final.  Congratulations to Will for taking home the prize and being the best Tron player of the day.  We were too focused playing Tron at the end that we forgot to take pictures of it.

Jan Free Class: Computer Hardware

For our first Saturday class we decided to let the students take apart computers and learn about the hardware inside.  Jeremy Conterio, our java teacher, did a great job explaining the important stuff to everyone. The kids got to take apart and put back together a computer then test it to see if it still worked.  We look forward to next months class, networking. Remember all of our Saturday classes are free so bring your friends.
