Each group should work as volunteers in the Phoenix Project of the Maryland State Department of Education to assemble, at least, one working PC from discarded PCs and parts. Please see the map to the Phoenix Project meeting place at 901 North Milton Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21205. The hours are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 AM to 3 PM, and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 AM to 3 PM. These PCs will be donated to schools with a population of "at-risk" students. Therefore, not only you are learning to do the job, but also contributing to a worthy cause. Feel free to volunteer your time to continue helping the Phoenix project.

1. Introduction: What is the Phoenix Project? What did you do? What did you learn?
2. Description: What was the task? How were you organized? What kind of support/help did you receive? What was done (details)? Who did what (be sure that each member of the group did something)? What did you accomplish? Did you assemble a working computer? If not, why?
3. Conclusion: What did you learn? Each member should tell in his/her own words what was the most important thing that he/she learned in the project.
