Computer Creativity Courses
Below are the technology and video game courses we offer. Cartoons, Computers and Comic-Books is a new course starting January 2008.
Students can start any time. Because students have busy schedules, different learning speeds, and different levels of experience, we make our courses accomodate each student's pace. After you have a handle on the basics, you will work on your own projects within a theme. We have found this format is more engaging and fun.
