4 months of curiosity — no jargon, no prior knowledge needed
4 months · 16 sessions
The best course to start with — everything else we teach builds on this one.
CPU, RAM, storage and the operating system — what every part really does, and why computers only understand 0s and 1s.
Wi-Fi, IP addresses, routers, DNS and packets — we follow a single click all the way around the world and back.
The cloud is not magic — it is someone else's computer. Learn how websites and apps are actually hosted and stored.
How a message hops between mail servers, what To/CC/BCC really mean, and hands-on practice using email safely.
What an LLM really does, why it can be confidently wrong, and how to use it as a tool instead of a shortcut.
Strong passwords, 2FA, phishing, scams, digital footprint — and how to judge whether a source can be trusted.
Crawling, indexing and ranking — plus how social media decides exactly which video you see next.
IoT devices, QR codes, pixels and compression, and real troubleshooting — including why restarting actually helps.
Over 16 weeks we take apart the questions everyone is a little embarrassed to ask — and answer every one of them properly.
What is actually inside a computer, and what does each part do?
Why do computers only understand 0s and 1s?
What does an operating system really do all day?
Why is a .jpg not the same as a .docx?
What really happens when you type a web address and press Enter?
How does data find its way across the world in milliseconds?
What does the padlock in HTTPS actually protect?
Where is "the cloud", and who owns the computer your files live on?
How does an email travel from your laptop to a friend's phone?
How does a search engine find one page among billions?
Why does the app show you exactly that video next?
Does an AI actually think — or is it just predicting the next word?
Why is AI sometimes wrong, but always so confident about it?
What makes a password strong, and why does 2FA help so much?
How do you spot a phishing message or a fake website?
What data do companies collect about you, and why do they want it?
What are these IoT devices?
Why does "turn it off and on again" actually work so often?
Sixteen sessions across four months, with hands-on activities and a final project — taught in the order that suits the group best.
This is the foundation. Once you know how a computer, a network and a server actually work, every other course makes far more sense — Python stops being magic spells and Linux stops being scary commands. If you only take one course, take this one first.
