In-Class Project 1: Lifting the Hood

Project Objectives:

Welcome to your first Raspberry Pi Project! This entire project should be done by the end of the day. I will be assigning groups of three to work on two seperate devices. The objectives of this project are as follows:

1. Be able to identify fundamental hardware components inside a computing device.
2. Compare and contrast the internal architecture of old computing devices versus more current ones.
3. Learn how to strategize and work as a team to work on a single project.

TEAM 1: Break Open a Mac Laptop

• Step 1: For five minutes strategize as a group how you would go about breaking open this laptop.
• Step 2: Review this video for further instructions.
• Step 3: Make a diagram of the laptop on a piece of paper, placing the screws on the page to keep track of each one.
• Step 4: Make note when you've found one of the fundamental hardware elements (peripheral, cpu, memory).

TEAM 2: Break Open an Iphone

• Step 1: For five minutes strategize as a group how you would go about breaking open this Iphone.
• Step 2: Follow the instruction flowchart and this video for further instructions.
• Step 3: Keep flowchart page flat, placing the screws on the page to keep track of each one.
• Step 4: Make note when you've found one of the fundamental hardware elements (peripheral, cpu, memory).
