These computer building components will allow our students to build their confidence in their computer science knowledge and understandings by putting the knowledge to use in a practical way with a real world context. It will allow our students to engage in authentic assessment without even realizing they are being informally assessed. Students in rural socioeconomically depressed areas will get the opportunity to see for themselves how the knowledge they are gaining about computers and computer science is valuable and can lead to a brighter future. It will allow them to sharpen their logical thinking, critical thinking, and analytical thinking skills in addition to building their self-confidence and self-efficacy mindsets. This will be a "station" type project that takes places inside of the technology lab and will be worked on by 2 students at a time until all students have rotated through the build with teacher supervision and assistance.
