A first course for children who are curious about computers. Learners get comfortable with the keyboard and mouse, learn how files and folders work, use a browser safely, and finish by making something of their own. Every session is hands on, and the pace assumes no prior experience at home.
What you'll learn
- Use a computer confidently, from powering on to saving work in the right place
- Type without hunting for keys, and navigate with keyboard shortcuts
