  6. 9:31am • We begin building • Learn about the components of the computer and how to handle them • “Safety First”

  7. Learning from the best • Learning how to put our computer together from our instructor, Matt.

  8. Building the computer • Pretty standard not many problems with the build • Just had to muscle in some pieces.

  9. Lunch • Lunch was a time to meet everyone. • It was nothing like cafeteria food. • “This Ain’t High School”

  10. After Lunch • Finished building the last of the computers • Had some difficulty reading the “map” design that came with it. • Figured it out in the end • Finished the computer!!!

  11. The Test… All the parts were in, we now had to power up our computers. Aaren told us to take cover for his. … So we did.

  12. The Tests Success!! They all started!

  13. Uploading Software • We were given several different programs to install • Very interesting part of the process • Waited for the screen to say “finish”

  14. Assembly Required… • Careful in handling the motherboard! • Caution: not for children 6 and under, or those with unsteady or greasy hands…

  15. This is how it’s done …..skills.

  18. Campus Tour • Old Main-first building of the university in 1885 • Student Union-place to eat, relax, and seek resources to make college more enjoyable. • Library-public to the community & is the only building on campus that is not red brick

  19. College Prep • Scholarships • Gates • FAFSA • Majors of interest • Engineering, graphic design, law, forensic science… • What can we do now? • Get good grades, learn time management, & achieve in extracurricular clubs & sports.
