Version B
Circuit constellation
Circuits become paths across a night-sky map, connecting the workbench, the observatory, and software.
Version C
Engineering atlas
A clear editorial layout pairs the two learning paths with the astronomy and software they sit alongside.
Version D
The connected workbench
A shared studio brings physical hardware, an observatory, manuscripts, and software into one illustrated workspace.
The work behind the illustrations
The course paths draw on my Turing Guild LMS curriculum. The hardware comes from my photographs; the astronomy references include my telescope and Andromeda image.
Build Your Own Computer
Electronics, the 65C02, memory, assembly language, and input/output come together in a working Alan One computer.
