Evening Classes at Olympia Parks & Recreation |
|
Robert has been teaching computer classes and workshops through Olympia Parks, Arts & Recreation for over 2 years. These relaxed and fun Wednesday evening workshops are open to anyone - age 16 and up.
We use the Senior Center’s computer lab on the second floor (behind the boutique). We learn on Windows XP computers and limit the class size to a max. of 10.
Robert demonstrates how to do things on his big monitor, then has you roll up your sleeves and try it yourself. You get to understand the theory, but also get lots of hands-on experience.
There are many ways to register, by mail, in person, on-line. Call 753-8380 for more information.
Registration is on-going through Oly Park & Rec. 222 Columbia St. NW |
