Q: How can I register interest? Are there any conditions required to join?

A: Contact us, tell us more about yourself and why you want to join. We will get back to you for a next step arrangement, but due to the limited capacity (seats, tools, tutors), we don't receive more than we can serve. If necessary, we will queue the requests, and might need short interviews. As required by the regulations of study circle process, all new participants need to register personal information in this form.

Q: I am not sure if this is for me, can I join a trial learning for short time?

A: It's possible, but not promised, we hope to receive those who really know what they want and will insist on the learning when started. Anyone as visitor learner might not get full tutor caring, and might not get sufficient tools or materials for projects.  Contact us to talk for a practical way. 

Q: Do you always use hardware boards? Why?

A: Not exactly, but we intend to design the learning projects with hardware in the loop as much as possible. For younger starters, we also use Scratch. The reason for using hardware to learn programming is that we want the students to build holistic view of a minimum computer system, some necessary experience and knowledge on the hardware is very helpful, and by doing so, we can also better keep the students' interests, because we can see, feel and demo the actual results as a systematic product, and even can use what we learn to build their handcraft toys with the electronics smart controlling.

Q: What kind of hardware boards used? Why?

A: We have several types of physical micro controller boards, including Micro:bit, Arduino UNO , Arduino UNO WiFi, we are well prepared to help our students to learn along the way till high school level on the computer/programming/digital subjects. So far, the most used platform is Micro:bit, because our main participants are still very young in ages, Micro:bit is the most suitable for those who have zero or little prior knowledge, and can still start learning programming with fun in a small computer system that interacts with human and the environment.

Q: How much tuition fee?

A: This is a non-profit volunteering initiative, basically, we don't charge any tuition fee! However, we share all the cost needed to buy project platform tools, materials for teaching and learning. 

Q: When and where do we have classroom sessions?

A: We will meet at the central Gothenburg, near to Jantorget/Haga, every one or every other Sunday, 10:00-12:00 for morning session, and/or 13:00-15:00 for afternoon session.

Q: How do I join as volunteer helper or tutor?

A: Great! Get in contact via our email address, let's have a fika and talk, the most important thing is a sustainable passion on technology, teaching, and of course love educational activities.
