Capstone:Building A Computer From the Ground Up
We use computers every day of our lives, but have you ever stopped to ask what all the parts inside your computer do? I decided to tackle that question head on by having my friend and computer expert Maxwell Mahabir walk me through the process of building myself a new computer from the ground up. Because of this, and a detailed explanation of all the parts from Max, I now know how all the components fit together.

How It Began
My original project was going to be a video game coded in C# with a team of two other people aiding in code, assets, and sound design.
How It Changed
The game project would have needed more time for us to fully learn Unity and C#, so we were forced to switch to building a computer. This project was still at least in the field of computer science so it still applied to what I will go on to study in college.
Reflection
I now know with great detail how all the parts in a computer fit together and can build a computer from the ground up without the assistance of my friend and mentor.
