Students will be able to take their computers home upon successful graduation from the course.

Students will also be taught the functions of various components of the computer and how to troubleshoot common computer problems from the simple to the complex. There is also some content to familiarize the student with the factual contributions of African People to the computer sciences.

Admission is free.  Only 10 highly-motivated students will be accepted into the class.
