Six-Week-Long Earn-A-Computer Course at St. Louis BWorks (no class on 4th of July)About this Event
Earn-A-Computer is a hands-on class that introduces young people ages 8 to 17 to the inner workings and possibilities of computers and the internet — all while getting set to take home a refurbished computer upon successful completion of the course. After completing a consecutive series of six (90-minute) classes digging into everything from online safety to programming and presentation-building, students receive a refurbished computer of their very own.
Students who commit to this series will meet for six Thursday evenings, beginning each week at 6 p.m. (with each class ending at 7:30 p.m.). The first class meeting is Thursday, June 13, and graduation day (the final class, when students will present what they’ve learned and take their computers home!) will be Thursday, July 25 (there is no class on the 4th of July). Students must attend all six consecutive classes to earn their computer.
Classes take place at St. Louis BWorks, located in Soulard at 2414 Menard Street, St. Louis, MO 63104. A parent/guardian must attend the first 15 minutes of the first of the six classes. We also limit each family to two registrants per session, and students must be between the ages of 8 to 17.
The operating system we install is Linux Mint OS (not Windows or Mac OS).
