| 21 | The students started out with a [[pre-assessment>>url:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fJvJqewO54U9sHT0uHTVVacU2LgwdLOZlW9JfnbkZDE/edit]] and once they were finished, moved on to the [[MAKE worksheets>>url:https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B9TXipDwxAz4WlJ0SExTVV9CU0E]]. Students worked MAKE 1 through MAKE 3 and were then given the computers. Working in groups of three, with one mentor per group, each student followed the MAKE 4 page to troubleshoot what was preventing their computers from running. After the computers were completely working, students moved on to MAKE 5 to explore the computer's BIOs and play with boot order. Once the boot order was set, students could then load up [[Darik's Boot and Nuke>>url:https://dban.org/]] (DBAN) CDs into their computers to wipe the hard drives, following the instructions on MAKE 6. The students left the computers to wipe the hard drives overnight, since the process takes a while. | ||

| 24 | === Day 2 === | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | |||
| 27 | When the students came in, they removed the DBAN disks and restarted their computers. They were then given the [[Ubuntu installation>>url:https://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop]] disk and booted the computer to the disk to install the Ubuntu Operating System. Students completed MAKE 8 while installing the OS. After Ubuntu was installed, students followed MAKEs 9 to 11, exploring Linux and open source software. At the end of class, students were allowed to look for more applications that could be used with Ubuntu. | ||

| 31 | |||
| 32 | |||
| 33 | Students used [[Codecademy>>url:https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-html-css]] and worked through the first lesson of HTML for about an hour. Once they were finished, students were allowed to create their own websites using HTML. Students were given a few examples, made by the mentors and they could use MAKE 12 as a reference. They were also allowed to present their creations to the class. | ||

[[VIM Adventures>>url:https://vim-adventures.com/||rel="__blank"]] and [[Nethack>>url:http://www.nethack.org/||rel="__blank"]] for learning commands in VI/VIM, and [[OverTheWire>>url:http://overthewire.org/wargames/bandit/||rel="__blank"]] for learning Terminal commands. Students could also play [[Zork>>url:http://textadventures.co.uk/games/view/5zyoqrsugeopel3ffhz_vq/zork||rel="__blank"]] through the Terminal. | ||
