Inside the Box — building a PC with your child

Four sessions at a kitchen table with a screwdriver, an old machine or a box of new parts, and a child who ends up naming every component, mounting the board, routing the cables and working a fault tree when it does not start. Written for the adult beside them: what the child does, what you never let them touch, and where to stop.

Apresentação

This is the segment that does not happen on a screen. A parent, a child, a cross-head screwdriver, and either a machine that has been in a cupboard since nobody remembers or a box of parts on the table. The order is deliberately backwards. Before anything is named, the case comes open and the child spends ten minutes pointing at things and getting them wrong, with the adult saying nothing. Only after that does each part get a real name and a one-sentence job. A child who has already held the power supply and felt how heavy it is does not need a diagram of one. Then it goes together: the brass spacers and the one extra spacer that kills a board silently, the memory that needs more force than anyone expects, the cooler tightened in a cross pattern, and the block of front-panel pins that has defeated people who do this for a living. Then it is switched on, and it does not work, because an adult sabotaged it beforehand. The child works a fault tree they drew themselves, one change at a time, writing down what they expected before each test. Safety is not a footnote here. Mains electricity is in the room. The power supply is never opened, by anyone, for any reason. Every hands-on lesson states plainly what the adult does and what the child does, and the unplug drill is rehearsed by the child before a panel comes off. The segment ends at the first successful power-on and not one step further. Putting an operating system on the drive is a different job in a different segment, and so is the exam theory behind what these parts are — this one is about metal, and every lesson has a path for a family with no spare machine and no budget.

01 The Bench, and the Rules
3 aulas·1h 7m

You will want to open the case in the first ten minutes. Do not. The session that decides whether this works is the one where nothing is unscrewed: which machine, what happens if it never starts…
02 What Is In There
3 aulas·1h 17m

For the first ten minutes of the first session you say nothing at all. The child names things and gets several of them wrong, and the wrong answers are left standing until the next lesson tests them…
03 The Build
3 aulas·1h 46m

Two of these lessons contain a step that only an adult does, and one of them contains the single silent fault in this whole segment: one extra brass spacer under the board and the machine will not…
04 It Does Not Turn On
3 aulas·1h 41m

Two of these lessons are sabotaged before the child walks in, and you are the one who breaks the machine. That is deliberate: a set fault is a real fault with the timing chosen. Your job for the next…

Mais em Programação

Beginner First Program — Scratch for ages 5–9 Nine Scratch blocks, three sessions of about twenty-five minutes, and one small program a child of five to nine builds themselves. Written for the parent sitting beside them: what to click, what they will get stuck on, what to say when it goes wrong, and when to keep your hands off the mouse.

Beginner AI Without the Hype What the model is actually doing when it answers you, why that produces something that looks like thinking, why it invents citations, and the cost mechanic almost nobody explains: a chat resends the entire conversation on every single turn. You will do the arithmetic yourself.

Beginner Binary, Hex and Data Units The topic that costs more marks than any other on the paper, taught by hand. Bits and bytes, binary and hex in all six directions, the 1000-versus-1024 trap, file sizes, transmission times, overflow, two's complement and character sets. Every module ends in a timed drill marked the way an examiner marks it.

Beginner Python From a White Sheet The exact sequence nine students have already walked, from a blank file to a program that asks questions, checks the answers and refuses bad input. No prior programming. No maths. You will break it repeatedly, on purpose.

Intermediate IGCSE and GCSE Computer Science — Theory That Actually Gets Marked The theory half of the paper, taught so it survives the exam room. The memory hierarchy and what actually happens at boot. Compilers, interpreters and assemblers, including the answer that sounds right and scores nothing. Databases from a spreadsheet up to keys and normalisation. DNS and the full path between pressing Enter and seeing the page. Systems software, and the ethical and legal section that is the easiest ten marks on the paper.

Intermediate Programming for the Exam — Python Answers That Score The programming half of the paper, taught at exam pitch. Pseudocode translated both ways, because the mark scheme is written in a notation nobody practises. Trace tables done column by column, including the ones with a loop and a condition inside it. Linear and binary search, bubble and insertion sort, what each costs and the comparison questions boards love. Validation against verification, and the boundary test data everybody forgets. Procedures against functions, and a systematic method for finding your own error with four minutes left.
