Teaching Demo Description

This teaching demonstration will simulate a class where students are learning assembly for the first time, specifically using RISC-V. Students will learn about assembly and machine code, instruction sets and registers, and spend some time with a practical demo of a RISC-V interpreter. The lecture is designed to work for a 100-200-person classroom, and questions throughout are encouraged.
