The girls learned about the difficulty of writing complete instructions, much like a computer program, by writing instructions for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They were divided into 3 groups, wrote the instructions, then switched instructions and assembled the sandwiches according to another team's interpretation of the instructions. Here are some photos from the event:
The girls had their first opportunity to tear down a computer, see
what was inside, and learn about all the internal parts. They divided
into to different groups, one to tear down a Dell computer, and one
group to dismantle a Sun Ultra 5. They could compare the two
computers to see similarities and differences between the two. They
also were impressed by how many different vendors make the parts for
the internal workings of a computer and how many people this must
employ around the world. They found schematics from searching on the
web, and spent time investigating the function of individual parts
on the web. Here are some of the pictures as they attacked the
machines!
