_1. Do I need to bring a computer?_
You will need a computer for this class. It does not matter what the
operating system is as long as you are able to access the internet
through a browser. However, if you do not have one, a limited number
of loaner computers are available for the class. Contact
ramiro@turing.io if you need to reserve a loaner.
_2. Where do I park?_
The attached garage to the building is $7 on weekends, and meters are
free on Sundays. We recommend checking out the websites spothero.com
and parkingpanda.com to potentially reserve a spot at a cheaper
rate. We are also located in downtown Denver along several RTD bus
routes and a 5 minute walk from Union Station.
_3. Where is Turing located in the building? _
We are located in the lower level of the Guaranty Bank Building on
17th & Market. Once you enter the building, please take the elevator
down to the LL floor.
_4. Is the space accessible? _
Yes, we have an elevator to our space and all classrooms are
accessible.

We are offering scholarships on a limited basis for students with
financial need. Please contact anna@turing.io for more information.

Please arrive by 9:40 on Saturday morning to register and get
settled.
_7. Are kids welcome?_
Generally individuals aged 17+ can keep up with the class and are very
much invited. Unfortunately the venue does not have enough space for
child care, so younger ones will need to spend their weekend somewhere
else.
_8. I’ve already practiced some code as a hobby or through
Codecademy - will I still benefit from this course?_
This course is designed for people who are brand new to code and have
never tried it before. That doesn’t mean that those with some
experience aren’t welcome or will not benefit from it, but some
parts may be a review.
_9. What is the refund policy?_
If for any reason you can’t make it to the event, tickets are
refundable up to 24 hours before. If the event has passed then we are
happy to transfer your ticket to an upcoming Try Coding.
_10. What should I bring to the workshop?_
Your computer, computer charger and a water bottle. Coffee and lunch
are included with your ticket purchase!
_*Cancellation of events are dependent on a variety of factors
