If you want to do the lite version of this there is a book called “From NAND to Tetris” that is an instructional book for a similar class and walks through doing much of the same thing. It helped me connect the dots between “I know how a transistor works” and “I know how assembly language works” that I have never learned otherwise. Even if you just skim the book without doing the project you will likely learn some things.

I’m doing this right now and it’s a lot of fun and very accessible.

I saw there’s a highly rated Coursera version too (I prefer books to videos so I haven’t looked at it)
