The Manton Project

A student team of four drew plans, made proposals, brainstormed ideas, and implemented a new network design for a classroom at Manton High School. Actual work involved replacing Cat 5 cable, moving desks, connecting computers to new hubs, and installing a larger hard drive on the file server. Students terminated wire and prepared network jacks.
