They will use Microsoft Word to write their own memoir, autobiography or short story. Your child will then learn the basics of Microsoft Excel including formatting, graph and chart creation, and writing simple formulas.

Through a hands-on and exciting curriculum, this club will help your child become more curious and have a deeper understanding about how the world works.
