CPU Drawing for Kids

The CPU, which is alternately referred to as the central processor or the microprocessor, is the main part of a computer system. Just like how education is important for a child, a CPU is important for a computer to work smoothly. With the assistance of a drawing exercise, let us make our children learn more about the functions of a CPU. Kids can easily grasp information when introduced to such interesting activities. 

Improving knowledge about different parts of computers will be beneficial for kids in multiple ways. Practising how to draw a CPU for kids will help them understand the shape and function of a CPU in the working of a computer. BYJU’S CPU drawing for kids activity offers a golden chance to trace, draw, and colour different patterns of CPU and encourages them to express their talents before parents, teachers, and other family members. 

Understanding a CPU

The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the brain of the computer system. It helps the system to operate all the instructions put forward by the software and hardware of the computer. Even though the form, design, and configuration of CPUs have changed over time, the fundamental function has not changed. Federico Faggin, Masatoshi Shima, and Marcian Edward Hoff, along with a team of core Intel employees, developed the very first electronic CPU in the early 1970s. Later, after a year, Intel officially released the first commercially available computer processor and marked the beginning of a revolution. By following these facts on BYJU’S CPU drawing activity, kids can improve their comprehension of computer parts and strengthen their general knowledge.

Drawing Made Easy- How to Draw a CPU for Kids?

Day by day, different varieties of CPUs are getting introduced in our markets. The styles are getting updated, and for the past two decades, the shape of the CPU has undergone a massive transformation. In earlier times, CPUs were massive and very difficult to carry. But today, it has turned out to be a handy part of the computer system. Drawing a CPU will be a simple task by following the step-by-step instructions listed below. 

• Start the exercise by drawing three parallel vertical lines. Draw one on the middle of the paper and add the other lines to the right and left. Arrange the lines in such a way that the distance between the middle line and the one on the right is smaller than the distance between the middle line and the one on the left. 
• To make the image appear like a 3-dimensional figure, arrange the length of these three lines accordingly.
• It is better to use a ruler and a pencil while sketching the outline of the CPU. 
• Connect the three lines using simple straight lines and make the picture appear like a three-dimensional rectangle, resembling a skyscraper. 
• The space between the middle vertical line and the right line marks the front part of the CPU, and the middle and the left line marks the side of the CPU. 
• Add details in the front panel of the CPU. Even though there are different varieties of designs, let’s use a simple classy design. 
• We can sketch a series of horizontal lines and a power button, restart button, USB port, CD port, and floppy disk port to make the picture appear more original. 
• To improve the precision, kids can use an eraser and rework the errors. 
• After completing the rough outline, use a black marker and sketch the borders. 
• To improve the visual quality, kids can use a silver colour to layer over the picture. 

Drawing is never an easy task. It requires great practice, dedication, and hard work to produce paintings of the finest artistic qualities. If your kids are interested in drawing, then CPU drawing activity is one of the finest choices that you can offer them. It will help them learn different shapes and strengthens their hand-eye coordination, which is very crucial for an artist.
