The goal of this course is for you to learn about some areas of technology that you didn't know about and to give you the opportunity to create using technology.

We encourage you to share what you know with others and to learn from them as well. With all the knowledge in the classroom, everyone will learn a great deal if we share, work together, and help each other.

We must remember that everyone knows something about technology but not anyone knows everything. (That's true even for computer scientists!)
