Build a Chuck
We are building a website to teach people who don't know any electronic or computer stuff how computers work, by building a computer from scratch!
We call our computer the CHUCK-1, after Chuck Peddle. He was the lead designer of the 6502 CPU we are gonna use! (That's Chuck in the picture, with the arrow sticking in his head.)
Don't be scared. It will be fun! So watch the videos, buy some parts and start building!
