Learn to master your computer skills. If you (want to) write code for a living, then build something. Your goal shouldn't be to just learn to use everyone else's stuff. There are hard limits to career growth on that path and they all lead to a layoff -- not a retirement. In 2026, simply knowing how to use stuff is a path to instability, poverty and unhappiness. It's hard-work fulfilling your goals. 

If you can learn a coding tool, so can anyone else. The real question is: can you build a coding tool? Your goal should be to BUILD the tools everyone else uses, and to learn to build tools that people enjoy.

This series of workshops is crafted to make you a builder. We want you to build something. To do that, you need a community that nurtures your skills and helps you build knowledge. And we’re here for it! 

This Summer, we’re hosting the following workshops each month through August:

1. Unix Skill Workshop (Novice), 1 week, starts 5/25
2. Python Skill Workshop (Intermediate), 1 week, starts 6/1
3. Software Testing (Intermediate +), 1 week, starts 6/8
4. S.M.A.S.H. Workshop, 1 day, starts 5/20

Seats are limited. Visit the training page for full details on what you'll learn and how to join!
