US Grade 5 - 8
WiFi is the most common home networking tool today, but do you really understand how it work and how to set up a wifi network? This class will give you a solid foundation of what Wifi is, how it works,  and how you can improve on your own Wifi network. 

Concepts discussed are:
What is WiFi?
Basic routing concepts
Bands, frequencies, speeds
Location for proper coverage
Bandwidth
Interference
Security
Extension options

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.  Interaction means questions and comments are encouraged  to whatever level of participation the student desires.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been in the computer industry for decades, starting in the 1970s by building my own computer and robotics. That led to a career of mating software and hardware through several technology startups. Being deeply in this industry from the beginning had granted me an overall view of how everything works together that is rare today. My goal is to pass this deep basic understanding to the next generation.
