Learning to use a computer is an important skill for everyone in our world. This series of classes provides a simple overview of the most popular programs to build an understanding to build on.

The term "database" may conjure many different images in different people, or no image at all. But database systems are a big part of our everyday life!  There are hundreds of databases of dozens of types. This class is geared to explain the fundamental concepts of a "database", in age appropriate terminology and concepts.  No prior computer experience required!  This class is about presenting the younger student with the concepts of database systems in an easy to understand manner to set the foundation for later life. 

Concepts explored in this session include:
Physical storage concepts
Fields, rows, data types, tables, databases
Indexing
Relational and non-relational databases
Uses for databases in home and business
How to get started with your own database

This is an introductory class intended to build the terminology and concepts from scratch for the novice student. 

All of this is presented in an age appropriate manner so the younger students can grasp and start on a proper understanding into the world of computers. 

This is an interactive whiteboarding class where illustrations are used explain the lesson throughout.   There will also be some live computer screen sharing. Interaction means questions and comments are encouraged  to whatever level of participation the student desires.
