Building a PC

It has been a goal of mine for about a year now to build a computer. I decided to commit to it last November. I contacted a student studying computer science at Macalester college to support me and I built it within two months. I wrote a paper about my process, problems I ran into, and the parts of the computer.

Email project details to info@mnlcn.org — include the school, grade, subject, a one-paragraph description, and a couple of photos or links if you have them.

What gets featured: student work that engages a real audience or solves a real problem, that students themselves can speak to and defend, and that maps to one of the seven principles.

MLCN member schools and other Minnesota schools doing student-centered work are both welcome to submit — we feature what fits.
