Build An 8-Bit CPU From Scratch Part I

The CPU or “brain” of a computer: Ever wondered how they function? or even wondered how complicated and intricate they are?
Join us for a four-part series to learn more about how CPU’s function. Participate in building a functioning 8-bit CPU from scratch. We will watch instructional videos from Ben Eater before jumping in and assembling a different component of his 8-bit breadboard computer kits at the end of each session. For this session, we will assemble the Clock Module of the 8-bit CPU.

Agenda:
1) Watch informational and instructional videos from Ben Eater’s YouTube channel where he teaches us about different components of a CPU and assembles his breadboard computer kit.

2) Assemble an 8-bit breadboard computer kit based on what we learned from Ben Eater. For this first session, we will start by assembling the Clock Module.
