Weekly Group Classes Are Now Accessible Online

 

We’re excited to announce our weekly classes will be accessible online, so students can join the live discussion from virtually anywhere with good internet connection and proper device. The online class times will be on the regular scheduled times (Toronto time) – see schedule here.

Students and instructors will collaborate in virtual meeting rooms, where remote students can participate in virtual whiteboard sessions as well. Instructors will also be able to teach and demonstrate coding lessons by sharing screens and leveraging various online coding tools where collaboration is key.

For the online robotics class, we can either teach using virtual components (all the Arduino components which students can interact with) or use your own circuit components (we can advice which robotics kits to purchase – total around $60 for the complete kits).

 

Online Mentor

In addition to our weekly group classes, we are also launching online mentoring service where students receive guidance and advice from our experienced mentors one-on-one. You may be a complete beginner or wanting to switch a career in tech/software industry. Our mentors provide wealth of knowledge and the right guidance that can fast track where you want to be.

You’ll also learn the pitfalls and mistakes so you’d recognize them ahead of time. Click here to learn more about online mentoring services.
