About the Course

What you’ll achieve: In this project-centered course* you will build a modern computer system, from the ground up. We’ll divide this fascinating
journey into six hands-on projects that will take you from constructing elementary logic gates all the way through creating a fully functioning
general purpose computer. In the process, you will learn - in the most direct and constructive way - how computers work, and how they are
designed. What you’ll need: This is a self-contained course: all the knowledge necessary to succeed in the course and build the computer
system will be given as part of the learning experience. Therefore, we assume no previous computer science or engineering ...
