👉 The Hacker Project, initiated by Andrew S. Tanenbaum in 1989, is an educational initiative aimed at teaching computer science fundamentals through practical, project-based learning. It challenges students to build a functional computer system from scratch, covering hardware and software aspects, from assembling a simple microcomputer to developing operating systems and networking protocols. The project emphasizes problem-solving, critical thinking, and hands-on experience, making complex concepts accessible and engaging. By tackling real-world problems, students gain a deeper understanding of computer science principles and develop valuable skills in programming, system design, and software engineering.
