Abstract

The paper presents a project in St. George International School & Preschool in Sofia for the exams of Information Technologies from grade 3 to 11. A computer hardware museum is built in the classroom. The students from all grades are using the historical and modern computer parts as a physical touch with what they must learn in some lessons. The first results from the study show that the students are much more active when they can “touch and feel” the hardware compared to learning from photos, internet articles or videos.
