Our Mission

Technology should be free for everyone and that is my mission for Laptop&Me. I believe that technology should be free and fun, but so should education. Many people cannot experience amazing topics and subjects because of their financial situation. That is why, I wish to share my knowledge on my favourite topic, Computer Science, free of charge! No programming skill are needed either. We will be exploring multiple languages starting with one of the most basic language: Scratch! This is a beginner-level course.

Down below, there will be more information about my classes, registration form, and also a course outline depicting what I intend on going through in my classes. Hope to see you soon!

Class Information

Class will be weekly on Sunday! ^-^

Times: 5-6pm (PST)

Classes are also free!

Course outline is down below.
