Course FAQ

Are your camps for boys or girls?

​All of our camps are co-ed and available to everyone.  Both boys and girls have shown interest in the material and have attended our camps.

Will there be "hands-on time" for the kids or is the camp purely informational?
​
​Yes, the camps are definitely hands-on. The kids will be learning techniques and then using those techniques on the computer with our assistance.

How do I know if my computer is powerful enough?

A good rule of thumb is to use a computer that's five years old or newer.  If you have any doubt, please install the software prior to registering to ensure it will run well enough.

Where can I get the necessary software for this camp?

You can download and install the latest version of Zoom for free from zoom.us.  You'll need to sign in before downloading.
