Oakton Hosts Computer Workshops for Youth and Parents
Computer workshops on basic graphic design and the popular Japanese art forms of anime and manga will be offered March 20 and 21 by the Alliance for Lifelong Learning at Oakton Community College. These new courses for students in sixth grade and up are scheduled at both Oakton campuses in Des Plaines and Skokie.
On Saturday, March 20, students may register for either Computer Graphics/Design I or Japanese Anime/Manga I. Classes feature activities such as creating an action hero or comic strip character, and printing out the results on a poster, book cover, or game cards. Students work at their own pace and projects may be completed at home.
Parents who accompany their children may register for Blocking the Internet I, to learn how to better monitor their child's e-mail, chat room, and Web access on the Internet.
On Sunday, March 21, students may register for either Computer Graphics/Design II or Japanese Anime/Manga II. Parents only may sign up for Blocking the Internet II.
Classes run 10 a.m. - noon, and 1 - 3 p.m. each day. No supervision is provided between noon and 1 p.m. The course fee for each class is $35, and the deadline for application is Wednesday, March 10. To request a workshop application, call 847-635-1425 and leave a message with your name, address (including zip code), and daytime phone numbers.
