Hi. I’m wondering if there are any famous pc builders? Like maybe a YouTuber or something? I run a community center and would like to introduce PC building to the kids, but I personally know nothing about the subject. I would like to get someone in to host a workshop. If y’all have anyone in mind I can contact I’d greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Where are you located?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The center is located in Alabama. And I should apologize, the wording of my post was dismal. I’m not expecting people to fly in, nor am I expecting anyone to do anything for free. I just need someone to talk or videos to watch to get a better understanding of the field in general so I even know where to start to bring a program like this to the community center.

I can't think of any popular tech YouTube channels based in or near Alabama. As was mentioned above, a local community college CIS or CS department would probably be a great place to get some assistance, or at least put you in contact with more local resources.

The YouTube channels mentioned above by @[email protected] are some of my favorites. Craft Computing and Level 1 Techs are two others.

I'm there are also many people here on Lemmy that would be willing to hop into a Discord call with you and discuss some of the basics.

Thank you! I will start with the videos and if I need any in depth answers I will reach back out here!

I tried reaching out to multiple universities with no luck. I may have contacted them too late in the school year though. Will give it another go when school resumes.
