- Assemble a working computer from simple parts (Pi, power, storage, keyboard, display)
- Install and boot Raspberry Pi OS (Linux)
- Explore how the Pi can be used for coding, electronics, media centers, retro gaming, and more
- Talk about why small, efficient computers matter for learning, repair, and reducing e-waste
