It is in fact a desire that high school soldering, robotic and computer computer clubs can adopt this as a kit for hardware and software learning. Common parts and no SMDs is mandated in the design as one of the objectives is to allow ready and simple replication of the project by the average high school student. And students will be able to get the feel of a physical device.Ĭompleted hardware plan including PCB layout will be provided as open source plans. Learning programming via LMC will provide the complete picture on how computers actually work.Ī handheld and battery operated learning device allows students to experiment with LMC anytime anywhere without restrictions.Ī physical device instead of a mobile phone app provide the physical touch on computer learning. Machine / psuedo code on hardware register represented by LMC mailboxes. The Little Man Computer, or LMC, being modelled after a simple von Neumann architecture computer, allows students to associate basic programming with the physical CPU architecture, i.e. This isolates the students on how computers actually work physically. The challenge on teaching high school students computer programming is that they are usually done in high level languages.
