Bit

Explore Hardware!

From core components to make a device function to accessories and extras — Bit would love to teach you by taking you on many adventures inside the computers. It can tell you even more about very specific components to show you how far we've come!

Byte

Delve into Software!

From generic software to make your computer do things to specific software and communication protocols to browse the internet — Byte can tell you all about the building blocks with text and examples that you can use on your own machine!

Bug

Apply your Knowledge!

Nothing brings Bug more joy than "helping" with projects by interrupting and preventing the computer from doing what it is supposed to do. Yet, he is always proud to see his favourite people making progress while learning many things along the way.
 

Nibble

Lastly, there is grandpa Nibble who has a vast knowledge about computers and loves to share this with everyone who wants to read and listen. He has been here since the beginning of time and knows everything there is to know about computers. If you want, it will gladly take you on a trip down memory lane or tell you more about theory. But if you really poke Nibble, he can take you to the grits at the lowest of levels and discuss advanced topics which are not for the faint-hearted.

History
Computers and its science may be relatively young with the first computer appearing around the 1940s, but a lot has happened in the time between. The progress in both hardware and software is immense in this period. However, not everything stems from the past century...
Theory
Not everything in Computer Science fits in just hardware or software. Some principles apply over a broader subject, or don't really fit these two categories per se. Theory covers the bases and subjects that don't have a specific fit, or are only used in very particular scenarios.
