  **WINLAB Summer Internship 2024**

  **Advisors:** Dr. Richard Howard, Dr. Richard Martin

  **Group Members:** Dilan Gandhi, Rithvik Madiraju

== Project Objective

The goal of our project is to build a 8-bit computer from scratch on a breadboard using different electrical components like Integrated Circuits, LEDs, Wires, etc. Our aim is to document the step-by-step process, including schematics, notes, and procedures, so that others can replicate the creation of their own Breadboard Computer.
