Programming

Learning Intention:  Students will be able to identify core PC components and safely disassemble/reassemble a desktop computer.

Success Criteria:

I can point to and name: case, PSU, motherboard, CPU, cooler, RAM, GPU, storage (SSD/HDD), expansion slots/cards, fans, 24-pin ATX, 8-pin CPU, PCIe, SATA, and front-panel connectors.

I can disassemble to major components in a clear order and label parts/cables as I go.

I can reassemble with all required power/data connections (24-pin ATX, CPU 8-pin, PCIe to GPU, SATA power+data) routed securely.

I can pass a partner/teacher checklist or power-on check (no loose parts, case closed properly).
