The Basics classes introduces the skills you’ll need to benefit from all the other classes. Being able to use a mouse and keyboard (or use your touch screen virtual keyboard) and having some comfort with getting around your computer screen are necessary.

We also have Lab and Workshop sessions on open or selected topics. These are two-hour block of time staffed by an instructor who will try to address your questions, problems or projects. We can’t guarantee that the specific instructor will have expertise on your topic or need. It’s first-come, first-served.
