Today was our second genius hour! Boy, that was a blast.
On my computer I learned that the battery looking things are actually compensators.
There are many different sizes.
I will not be taking those out though.
In genius hour I took out a few screws and relized thee was a danger sign. I divided not to touch it untill next time.
My next steps for genius hour are to bring gloves next time and bring more/bigger ziplock bags.
Friday was my first genius hour I had where I had actually taken some parts out.
Here are some pictures below of me and my computer.
I learned that there's way more parts in a computer than I thought there would be.
My next steps are to right a 'blue print' to know where everything goes. Even though I remember, I believe a blue print would be easier.
I really loved genius hour. I like how you can finally do something you want to do, that makes you happy.
What is a genius?
A genius is a person who is creative, original, or just has a very high IQ.
You don't have to be an Albert Einstein to be a genius. You can even be like Smosh, Captain Sparklez or maybe a person who created a Minecraft mod like the Aether mod or Too Many Items. These are some very thoughtful people who have the originality to do amazing things.
Genius hour is where we get one hour each week to learn or do what ever we want!
I believe this is a great opportunity for me to finally learn how computers work. For my genius hour I have decided to take a computer a part. This is an old compter and many things have changed in the computers today. This means I will learn only some of the parts they have in the computer today. Plus, this computer has some parts taken out of it. It's only a little bit though, so it shouldn't matter.
I hope I learn a lot of things from genius hour and I think this will be very fun.
What will I be doing?
I will be taking a computer apart to learn the parts and techie components inside.
When will I be doing this?
I will doing this for one hour each week until school has ended. This can all be done in my extra time during recess, lunch, or maybe even a home.
Where will this happen?
I will be taking the computer apart at school and sometimes at home.
Why am I doing this?
I wanted to build a computer first but that is definitely easier said than done. So then I decided that I should take a computer apart first, then I would know what’s what and what goes where. This would then give me some knowledge on what pieces go in which place so then if I were going to build a computer than I would how how to make it work.
How will I do this?
I will look on google to try and find a way on how to take apart the computer, or I will make an educated guess on which pieces should come out first.
Please give me feedback in the "comments" section below.
