Build Your First Website

Posted by george on Jun 8, 2013 in Blog It, Featured | 0 comments

This workshop class is for folks who want to build their own website, rather than depend on social media or other service providers. No prior experience is needed, and you will NOT need to learn any programming skills. We will use two different platforms, the WordPress blog engine (used on club125.com) and the Drupal content management system (used on club125.org).

The first class is Tuesday, June 11 at 7:30pm.

Living with Linux and Windows

Posted by george on Jun 8, 2013 in Blog It, Featured | 1 comment

This workshop series alternates between Linux and Windows and will be adjusted to student needs. We start with an introduction to the Linux Desktop using Mint, the system we have chosen for our desktop systems. Our laptop systems are powered by Windows 8 to give us a platform to teach tips and tricks about Microsoft Windows. These classes are for people with novice to average computer skills. If you are new to Linux, or if you are frustrated by some of the odd things that happen every time you power on your computer, this is the class for you.

The first class is Tuesday, June 11 at 6:30pm.

Your First Arduino Microcontroller

The Arduino is a small inexpensive microcontroller that can be used in a wide variety of engineering, arts, and crafts projects. Any project that interfaces or interacts with the physical world can probably benefit from using an Arduino, with sensors, switches, lights, motors, or other control devices. Not sure what this means? Take a look here, or here.

Learn Python the Hard Way

Posted by george on Jun 7, 2013 in Blog It, Featured | 2 comments

Python is a popular programming language that can be used on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems. It can even be used to program our LEGO NXT robots. Many think it is a great first language to learn and we're accepting that challenge! This 10 week class is for "pure novice" programmers of all ages (and it is NOT hard!). If you already have some programming experience, we'll give you more challenging homework.
