+---Required Course Materials:
+ A dedicated laptop that Linux will be installed on, this can be any
+obsolete laptop made after 2010. This does not have to be a very fast computer
+at all. In most cases, previous data and OS will be wiped on installation of new
+OS, but dualbooting(keeping both systems) can be done for certain computers. If
+you can no provide a dedicated laptop then you can purchase a Raspberry Pi kit
+for ~80 from me or online.
+
+----Optional Course Materials:
+
+ -2 USB drives 8GB minimum, this is to help with file transfer and
+ OS installation.
+
+ -USB wifi dongle, same as above.
+
+---Optional Topic Dependent Course Materials:
+ These will only be required for certain projects, you are not required
+to bring these if we do not end up exploring that topic..
+
+ 3.b - An Arduino kit or PIC microcontroller w/ memory flasher.
+
+ 4.b Ti-8* series calculator
+
+ 7.c - USB wifi dongle
