participants how to set and achieve goals! After completing a
consecutive series of 6 (90 minutes) classes, your student will
receive a refurbished COMPUTER (desktop/tower), monitor, keyboard,
mouse, flash drive, and network cable*. The operating system we
install is Linux Mint OS (not Windows or Mac OS). This class covers
the following topics: Introduction to COMPUTERS, and the Internet as
well as safety on the Internet, Word processing, Creating
presentations, COMPUTER PROGRAMMING, and COMPUTER CONNECTION.
ABOUT THE REGISTRATION FEE: We normally don't charge anything to youth
participating in our program, unfortunately, we have a number of
no-shows sign up for classes and this reduces the overall number of
students who participate. The $25 class fee that will be refunded upon
completion of the six-week program. Please do not let this stop you
from attending - a waiver is available for those who are not able to
pay the deposit.
