  6502 breadboard computer designed by Ben Eater (by Thenlie)

For a younger, student electrical engineer, they could easily gain the appreciation for the engineering that went into these things. Especially as a someone who wrote a lot software prior to completing my EE training, I wanted to learn on something that was fairly “pure” to learn major concept and patters on: a large MCU that only breaks out into a bunch of connectors is not it.

I would love to be able to teach (or have had the opportunity to learn) system architecture from analysis of arcade cabinets, starting with a CPU, adding ram, rom, peripherals, etc. Ben Eater’s 6502 computer kit[0] comes very close and is closer to the ballpark of what I would want out of a learning experience.
