About

CompConstruct is an educational initiative that developed a hands-on curriculum to teach middle and high school students the principles of computer science and engineering. Through this program, students have successfully built their own fully functioning computers, gaining both technical knowledge and problem-solving skills. By holding in-person classes in Title I low-income public schools and providing opportunities for a wide range of students to interact with STEM, CompConstruct has increased its impact in collaboration with Global Kids.
