Klub tehnike tijekom školske godine 2026./2027. provodi edukativne radionice „Sastavi – rastavi računalo“ u suradnji s osnovnim školama. Riječ je o praktičnom programu tehničkog obrazovanja kroz koji učenici upoznaju unutarnju strukturu računala, uče prepoznavati njegove komponente te stječu iskustvo samostalnog rastavljanja i ponovnog sastavljanja računalnog sustava. Posebna vrijednost programa je njegova dostupnost školama. Klub tehnike donosi računala, potreban alat i svu opremu izravno u školu, čime omogućuje provedbu radionica u poznatom okruženju, bez potrebe za dodatnim tehničkim opremanjem školskih učionica.

1. Od teorije do prakse – učenici samostalno rastavljaju i sastavljaju računala

Današnji učenici svakodnevno koriste računala, tablete i druge digitalne uređaje, ali rijetko imaju priliku upoznati njihovu unutarnju konstrukciju i razumjeti kako pojedine komponente međusobno surađuju. Na radionici „Sastavi – rastavi računalo“ učenici najprije upoznaju osnovne dijelove stolnog računala: matičnu ploču, procesor, radnu memoriju (RAM), tvrdi disk i SSD, grafičku karticu, napajanje, rashladni sustav te podatkovne i naponske priključke. Nakon uvodnog objašnjenja i demonstracije mentora slijedi najvažniji dio radionice – samostalan praktični rad učenika u manjim skupinama. Učenici koriste odgovarajući alat, otvaraju računalna kućišta, odspajaju i uklanjaju pojedine komponente, analiziraju njihov položaj i način povezivanja, a zatim ih ponovno sastavljaju u funkcionalnu cjelinu. Tijekom rada posebna se pozornost posvećuje pravilnom rukovanju elektroničkim komponentama, sigurnosti, organizaciji radnog prostora i redoslijedu sastavljanja. Za mnoge učenike ovo je prvo iskustvo stvarnog rastavljanja računala. Kod kuće često nemaju mogućnost ili dopuštenje otvarati obiteljsko računalo, što je razumljivo zbog mogućnosti oštećenja skupih komponenti. Upravo zato radionica pruža priliku da u kontroliranim uvjetima, uz stručnu podršku, samostalno istražuju računalni hardver i uče na konkretnim primjerima.

2. Razumijevanje hardvera, performansi i odabira računalnih komponenti

Cilj radionice nije samo naučiti učenike kako rastaviti i ponovno sastaviti računalo, nego i razumjeti zašto je svaka komponenta važna i kako njezine karakteristike utječu na rad cijelog sustava. Učenici kroz praktične primjere upoznaju razliku između procesora i radne memorije, razumiju ulogu trajne pohrane podataka, važnost hlađenja te način na koji matična ploča povezuje pojedine dijelove računala. Program uključuje i upoznavanje s tržištem računalnih komponenti. Učenici uče uspoređivati različite modele procesora, memorije, diskova i grafičkih kartica prema njihovim tehničkim karakteristikama, cijeni i namjeni. Poseban naglasak stavlja se na razumijevanje odnosa cijene i performansi te međusobne kompatibilnosti komponenti. Kroz problemske zadatke učenici razmatraju kako odabrati dijelove za školsko, kućno ili gaming računalo te kako rasporediti raspoloživi budžet.

Na taj način razvijaju više međusobno povezanih kompetencija:

• Tehničku pismenost – prepoznavanje komponenti i razumijevanje njihove funkcije.
• Praktične vještine – sigurno korištenje alata, rukovanje komponentama i pravilno povezivanje.
• Logičko i problemsko razmišljanje – razumijevanje uzročno-posljedičnih odnosa i pronalaženje rješenja.
• Digitalnu i financijsku pismenost – usporedbu tehničkih specifikacija, cijena i isplativosti računalne opreme.
• Timski rad i komunikaciju – zajedničko planiranje, podjelu zadataka i obrazlaganje tehničkih odluka.

Radionica tako povezuje sadržaje informatike i tehničke kulture s njihovom konkretnom primjenom u svakodnevnom životu.

3. Prvo iskustvo koje može biti početak samostalnog sastavljanja računala

Jedan od najvažnijih ciljeva programa jest razvijanje samopouzdanja učenika u radu s računalnom opremom. Računalo koje su učenici vlastitim rukama rastavili, analizirali i ponovno sastavili postaje im tehnički razumljivije. Stječu iskustvo koje im kasnije može koristiti pri nadogradnji radne memorije, zamjeni diska, čišćenju računala ili prepoznavanju osnovnih hardverskih problema. Takvo praktično iskustvo može biti važan prvi korak prema tome da se učenici u budućnosti samostalno odvaže odabrati komponente i sastaviti vlastito računalo. Umjesto da računalnu opremu promatraju isključivo kao gotov proizvod, počinju razumijevati njezinu konstrukciju, mogućnosti nadogradnje i osnovne principe održavanja. Istodobno, učenici razvijaju preciznost, strpljenje, odgovornost i sigurnost u korištenju alata, što su vještine primjenjive i u drugim tehničkim područjima. Klub tehnike ovim programom nastoji školama pružiti dodatnu praktičnu dimenziju tehničkog i informatičkog obrazovanja. Donošenjem računala, alata i pripremljenog programa izravno u školske učionice omogućujemo učenicima iskustvo koje je teško ostvariti samo kroz redovitu nastavu ili rad na školskim računalima. Suradnjom s osnovnim školama želimo poticati interes za STEM područja, razvijati samostalnost u radu s tehnologijom i približiti učenicima konkretna tehnička znanja koja će im koristiti tijekom daljnjeg obrazovanja, ali i u svakodnevnom životu.

 

 

 

BUILD AND DISASSEMBLE A COMPUTER: Hands-On Computer Hardware Workshops by Klub tehnike in Primary Schools

During the 2026/2027 school year, Klub tehnike is delivering educational workshops entitled “Build and Disassemble a Computer” in cooperation with primary schools. This hands-on technical education programme introduces pupils to the internal structure of computers, teaches them to identify essential hardware components, and provides practical experience in disassembling and reassembling desktop computers.One of the programme’s key advantages is its accessibility to schools. Klub tehnike brings computers, the necessary tools, and all required equipment directly to the school, allowing workshops to take place in a familiar learning environment without requiring schools to invest in additional technical equipment.

1. From Theory to Practice – Pupils Disassemble and Reassemble Computers

Today’s pupils use computers, tablets, and other digital devices every day, yet they rarely have the opportunity to explore their internal construction or understand how individual components work together.During the “Build and Disassemble a Computer” workshop, pupils are introduced to the essential components of a desktop computer, including the motherboard, processor (CPU), random-access memory (RAM), hard disk drive (HDD), solid-state drive (SSD), graphics card, power supply, cooling system, and data and power connectors.Following an introductory explanation and demonstration by the instructor, pupils move on to the most important part of the workshop – independent hands-on activities in small groups.Using appropriate tools, pupils open computer cases, disconnect and remove individual components, examine their positioning and connections, and then reassemble the computer into a complete system.Throughout the process, particular attention is paid to the safe handling of electronic components, the correct use of tools, workspace organisation, and the proper sequence of assembly.For many pupils, this is their first opportunity to physically disassemble a real computer. At home, they often do not have the opportunity or permission to open the family computer, understandably due to the risk of damaging expensive components. The workshop therefore provides a valuable opportunity to explore computer hardware independently in a controlled environment, with professional guidance and practical demonstrations.

2. Understanding Hardware, Performance, and Computer Component Selection

The workshop aims not only to teach pupils how to disassemble and reassemble a computer but also to help them understand why each component is important and how its technical specifications influence the performance of the entire system.Through practical examples, pupils learn the difference between a processor and RAM, understand the role of permanent data storage, discover the importance of cooling, and explore how the motherboard connects the various parts of a computer.The programme also introduces pupils to the computer hardware market. They learn to compare different processors, memory modules, storage devices, and graphics cards based on their technical specifications, prices, and intended applications.Particular emphasis is placed on understanding the relationship between price and performance, as well as the compatibility of different hardware components.Through problem-solving activities, pupils explore how to select components for a school computer, a home computer, or a gaming PC, and how to allocate a limited budget effectively.In this way, they develop several interconnected skills and competencies:

• Technical literacy – identifying computer components and understanding their functions.
• Practical skills – using tools safely, handling electronic components, and making correct hardware connections.
• Logical thinking and problem-solving – understanding cause-and-effect relationships and identifying practical solutions.
• Digital and financial literacy – comparing technical specifications, prices, and the value of computer equipment.
• Teamwork and communication – planning activities together, sharing responsibilities, and explaining technical decisions.

The workshop therefore connects topics from computer science and technical education with their practical applications in everyday life.

3. A First Practical Experience That Can Lead to Building a Computer Independently

One of the programme’s most important objectives is to develop pupils’ confidence when working with computer hardware.A computer that pupils have personally disassembled, examined, and reassembled becomes a much more understandable technical system. They gain practical experience that may later prove useful when upgrading RAM, replacing a storage drive, cleaning a computer, or identifying basic hardware problems.This hands-on experience can be an important first step towards giving ppils the confidence to select components and build their own computers independently in the future. Rather than viewing computer equipment solely as a finished product, they begin to understand its construction, upgrade possibilities, and basic maintenance principles.At the same time, pupils develop precision, patience, responsibility, and confidence in using tools – skills that are also applicable across many other technical disciplines.

Through this programme, Klub tehnike aims to provide schools with an additional practical dimension to technical and computer science education. By bringing computers, tools, and a structured educational programme directly into classrooms, we enable pupils to gain experience that is difficult to achieve through regular classroom instruction or by simply using school computers.

Through cooperation with primary schools, we aim to encourage interest in STEM subjects, develop independence in working with technology, and introduce pupils to practical technical knowledge that will benefit them throughout their further education and everyday lives.
