Taking Apart the Computer

When we get together it is always a challenge to find something interesting and fun for our grandsons to do. I knew the perfect activity when I replaced our dying computer a few weeks ago. The boys started taking it apart and then their dads (my sons) joined in and explained what everything is, what it does, and how it works. Dan is a physicist and Russell works for Intel where the CPU is made so they actually know what they are talking about. My daughter and another grandson took apart the monitor and Dan explained how it worked as well. The boys, girls, and their grandma were fascinated. When the four year old suggested that we take apart my new computer we moved on to another activity!
