IT Holiday Programme - Hands On PC Building, Hardware Discovery and Network Simulation

Christchurch Campus

July 15, 2026 10:00 am

167 Madras Street

Step into the world of technology and learn by doing in this exciting hands-on session.

 

In this interactive activity, you will open up a computer, dismantle it, and explore the components inside. You’ll identify key parts such as the CPU, memory, storage, and motherboard, and discover how these components work together to power a computer. With guidance from our instructors, you’ll then reassemble the PC and see how everything fits together.

 

Once you understand the hardware, the next challenge begins. You will build your own computer network using simulation software. You’ll connect devices, configure simple network connections, and observe how computers send and receive data across a network.

 

This session provides a fun and practical introduction to computer hardware and networking, giving you a real taste of what studying and working in IT can be like.

Spaces are limited so bookings are essential.
