RICLS offers informal, hands-on, and affordable computer classes to adults. It's the perfect classroom environment for someone who's just never had the time or opportunity to learn, or feels anxious and wants to be a more confident computer user. Classes are conducted in small, comfortable groups where everyone gets to participate.
