Hardware Lab

A cooled classroom where beginners power real hashboards.

The lab is the heart of our crypto mining education: powered benches, spare PSUs, and both air-cooled and immersion demo miners for walkthrough practice.

What sits on the floor

Three air-cooled ASIC stations with independent PDUs, one single-unit immersion tray with dielectric fluid for observation only, a firmware flashing laptop locked to school images, and a wall of labeled spare fans and heat sinks. Noise is managed with a dedicated exhaust path so neighboring offices stay comfortable.

  • Metered outlets for teaching load awareness
  • Insulated tools and lockout tags for every session
  • Observation glass for visitors during open evenings

How a lab session flows

Briefing at the whiteboard

Safety review, today’s hardware model, and a walk around live intake temperatures before anyone touches a cable.

Bench rotation

Pairs move through unboxing practice, torque checks, and network configuration while an instructor watches each PSU connection.

Share submission & teardown

Learners watch accepted shares on the pool page, then power down in reverse order and log any anomalies in the shared notebook.

Visiting without a full bootcamp

Prospective students may request a 20-minute escorted look during weekday afternoons when a class is not in session. Escorted visits are free; they do not include powered operation. To practice on live equipment, reserve a bootcamp seat or a single-model walkthrough.
