I’ve been surprised at how hands-on disassembly makes my daughter understand computers better. The fact that she can pull out the memory or SDD, or point to the giant battery, or ask what’s under the fan seems to have made her much more curious and interested in learning about computers.

Has anyone else had a teaching moment through being able to open up their laptop easily?

    One time, I took an old server to a school with screwdrivers and had the kids disassemble it. They loved it. They were all like, “I know where the pictures live!” And “This is where the Internet goes in!” It was actually even fun for me, and the teacher had a bunch of questions too.

    Best way to turn an old server into scrap.
