Using hands-on activities, Le Conte students learned about the key components of a computer through analogies that were easily understandable. For instance, the CPU embodies the brain, networking corresponds to the delivery of mail, and programming can correspond to developing a sequence of commands to make a program draw a box.
The event was a fun-filled success, enjoyed by both students, teachers of Le Conte Elementary School, and even the parent chaperones - one of whom pronounced this as the best field trip so far this year. IT instructors and volunteers included Tammy Campbell, Nat Stoddard, Gary Jung and Nina Lucido.
