Goals
- To draft a viable Laptop Pre-Build program that prepares people for the
Laptop Build program
- To establish teaching resources (instructor based as well as
self-guided resources) for Hardware ID/Recycling
- To create a program syllabus that demonstrates skills and subjects
covered by the program
- To have enough time before implementing the program to allow for training

PROGRAM DRAFT
The Laptop Pre-Build Program is divided into four sections, that correlate roughly to four shifts. Folks can repeat needed sections as needed. The Four Letter Plan:
- A Hardware Intro
- Hardware ID
- Disassembly/Assembly strategies
- Practice on Recyclers using Recycle procedure
- B Hardware Cont'd
- Hardware ID review (maybe a test or something)
- Network Tools intro
- POST troubleshooting
- More recycler practice, maybe an AS-IS machine or two
- C Mechanical Skills
- Put what you've learned into practice! Spend the shift honing
mechanical skills and POST troubleshooting. Review any needed material
- D Build Prep
- OS tour
- CLI for laptops
- WLAN troubleshooting
- Laptop Build Binder Appendix Tour
- Recycle/As-Is with any additional time
BIG PICTURE QUESTIONS
- How to make the program inclusive without losing build quality
- What has been attempted before?
- How to make each section teachable when builders may be at different stages, how to balance instruction with self-instruction resources
TO DO LIST
- Hardware ID examples
- Tear down machines, labeled
- Image-based glossary in English and Spanish
