Computers

4 sessions, in order

Four sessions building a computer from the ground up: how force gets transmitted at all, how a transistor turns that into a switch that can compute, how the parts inside a computer cooperate, and how a message actually crosses the planet to reach another one. By the end, a computer stops being a magic box.

1.T&E-5The Machine Builders' WorkshopTechnology & Engineering~30 minWhat are the different ways to move force from one place to another? Hydraulics, electric motors, and chemical propulsion, compared.
2.T&E-10Inside the Thinking MachineTechnology & Engineering~32 minWhat is a computer actually doing at the smallest level? Transistors, logic gates, and the atom of computing.
3.T&E-12Packet Racers Around the WorldTechnology & Engineering~30 minHow does a message actually get from your phone to the other side of the world? Packets, routing, and servers working together.
4.T&E-11Chefs of the Computer KitchenTechnology & Engineering~33 minWhy does a computer need both memory and storage? CPU, memory, and storage, and how the parts cooperate.
