---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
