Course kit
In addition to full access to the IDeATe Phys Comp Lab, all students get a course kit which they’re able to keep at the conclusion of the class.
Below is an overview of what’s in the kit; note that all items have their Phys Comp “part_num” listed which you can use to check recent inventory levels.
