The roots of the #Mega65 lay in #CS #education with #students not being able to grasp the basics not because of lack of intelligence, but through the lack of exposure to basic computing hardware.

“By insulating new computer science and IT students from how computers really work, we may well be disadvantaging them, by preventing them from learning how a computer really works. It's quite the same idea as starting a mechanic on a simple old car, instead of on a nuclear submarine: make the important details visible so that they can be learnt.” — Paul Gardner-Stephen
