# ROOT_ V1 Student Requirements
|
|
|
|
Phase 6F Step 14. RootNode's Labs run remotely — nothing computationally heavy needs to happen
|
|
on a student's own device.
|
|
|
|
## Remote / self-paced learners
|
|
|
|
- **Browser**: any current Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Edge) or Firefox. No browser
|
|
extensions or plugins required.
|
|
- **Internet**: a stable broadband connection sufficient for a persistent web session and a
|
|
terminal-like interface (similar bandwidth needs to a video call, generally lower).
|
|
- **Device**: a laptop or desktop with a physical or usable on-screen keyboard. A
|
|
**Chromebook is sufficient** — all Lab computation happens on RootNode's infrastructure, not
|
|
the student's device.
|
|
- **Tablets/phones**: not recommended as a primary device — the terminal-and-multi-pane
|
|
interface assumes a real keyboard and a reasonably sized screen; nothing about it is
|
|
technically blocked on a tablet, but it will be an uncomfortable experience.
|
|
- **Local installation**: none. No Docker, no Kubernetes, no Git client needs to be installed
|
|
locally — every Lab (including the nested Docker Engine and the Kubernetes cluster from ROOT
|
|
05 onward) runs in RootNode's disposable, remote Lab environment.
|
|
- **Microphone/camera**: not required by the platform itself. Only relevant if a specific
|
|
instructor-led delivery format (e.g. a live video cohort) separately requires it for its own
|
|
video conferencing — that's a delivery-format decision, not a platform requirement.
|
|
|
|
## In-person / camp delivery
|
|
|
|
- **RootNode provides**: the Lab environment (accessed via any device meeting the remote
|
|
requirements above), course content, and instructor tooling.
|
|
- **Student/venue provides**: the device itself (or the venue provides one), a keyboard, and
|
|
internet access to reach RootNode's platform. No specialized hardware, no local software
|
|
installation, no purchase requirements beyond program enrollment.
|
|
- **Venue/instructor should verify** in advance: enough physical outlets/devices for the
|
|
cohort size, and that the venue's network doesn't block outbound HTTPS to RootNode's domain.
|
|
|
|
## What RootNode explicitly does NOT require
|
|
|
|
No specific CPU/RAM/GPU spec, no paid software license, no local admin rights on the student's
|
|
device (nothing is installed), and no specific operating system beyond "runs a current browser."
