Discover How a Computer Works breaks down everything kids need to know about computers in an informative and easy-to-understand way.

The learning journey starts by explaining what a computer is and how it works, using the Input-Output-Process model. Kids will learn about different types of computers; from the laptops they use for school to powerful supercomputers that help scientists solve big problems.

As readers dive deeper, they'll discover how computers take in information, process it, and show results on a screen. The book also spotlights the various parts of a computer - like the motherboard and the CPU (the brain of the computer) - and explains how these components work together.

Kids will learn about essential peripherals like the GPU (the graphics card), network cards that help connect to the internet, and sound cards that make music and games come to life. There are even cool explanations about keeping computers cool with fans and water cooling, plus fun facts about computer cases and ports for connecting everything.

The book has extra sections about memory and storage, showing kids the differences between HDDs and SSDs and even explaining USB drives and cloud storage in a way that's easy to remember. There are also tips on how to check what's inside their computer, and the various specifications of the parts.

Throughout the book, there are engaging illustrations and fun quizzes to test kids' knowledge.

The QuestKids Discover How a Computer Works is perfect for curious minds eager to learn more about the parts of a computer. With colorful visuals and easy-to-follow explanations, this book makes learning about computers an exciting adventure!
