+
+---Required Course Materials:
+	A dedicated laptop that Linux will be installed on, this can be any
+obsolete laptop made after 2010. This does not have to be a very fast computer
+at all. In most cases, previous data and OS will be wiped on installation of new
+OS, but dualbooting(keeping both systems) can be done for certain computers. If
+you can no provide a dedicated laptop then you can purchase a Raspberry Pi kit
+for ~80 from me or online.
+
+----Optional Course Materials:
+
+		-2 USB drives 8GB minimum, this is to help with file transfer and
+		OS installation.
+
+		-USB wifi dongle, same as above.
+
+---Optional Topic Dependent Course Materials:
+	These will only be required for certain projects, you are not required
+to bring these if we do not end up exploring that topic..
+
+		3.b - An Arduino kit or PIC microcontroller w/ memory flasher.
+		
+		4.b Ti-8* series calculator
+
+		7.c - USB wifi dongle
+

+
+Course Outline(these are possible topics):
+	1)Linux System Maintenance:
+		a - Using the Terminal
+		b - Drive Partitioning and Installing a System from Scratch
+		c - Shell Scripting
+		d - Compiling Custom Kernels
+	2)High Level Programming(farther away from hardware):
+		a - Image Recognition Algorithms in Python with the OpenCV library.
+		c - Making Games with Pygame in Python.
+		d - Making Minecraft Mods with Java.
+	3)Low Level Programming(closer to hardware):
+		a - Linux Kernel Modules using C
+		b - Microcontroller Code using C
+		c - Making Games with C++ using the OpenGL and SDL Libraries.
+	4)Just For Fun Programming:
+		a - Coding in Minecraft with Lua
+		b - Coding on a Ti-8* Calculator with TiBasic
+	5)Electronnics Design and CAD:
+		a - Designing Circuits and PCBs in Kicad or EagleCad
+		b - Mechanical Drawing with LibreCAD
+	6)Hands On Electronics
+		a - Building Circuits with 74xx Series Logic ICs(Integrated Ciruits)
+		b - Building Custom Keyboards
+	7)Basic Cybersecurity and Penetration Testing
+		a - Personal Security Best Practices (Operational Security,
+Network Secruity)
+		a - PGP, SSL and Other Uses for Encruption.
+		b - Applying Security Patches to Your System.
+		c - Wireless Network Pentesting
+	8) Static Web Design
+		a - HTML/CSS
+		b - Javascript
+		c - Hosting your own website with github.io
+
+Topics above are all potential topics to explore, the topics that will be taught
+during the program will be determined after the trial session.

+	When it comes to computers, it's almost required that you teach yourself
+everything there is to know. This autodidacticism might work for some, but
+becomes frustating for preteens not used to it. On the other hand, in person
+educational programs offered by schools are often aim towards the lowest common
+denominator, oversimplifying things to the point where your child loses interest
+in them.
+	The Urban Computing and Electronics Summer Program aims to provide a
+balance between this, offering practical and challenging course material, but
+also providing in person tutoring for those who have little prior experience.
+This two course program is tailored to your child's skill level and offers
+topics on High Level Programming(Game Design), Low Level Programming,
+Electronics, Web Design, Cyber Security, and UNIX system maintenance.
