Thanks to a hands-on workshop hosted by Berkeley Lab, second-graders from LeConte Elementary School now know that the CPU is like a computer's brain, the RAM its memory, the power supply like a heart and the motherboard its skeleton. "Our goal is to open up their minds to the world of science and computer science," said Berkeley Lab IT staff member Tammy Campbell. "It's very important to hit them up at a very young age and get them interested." »
