Why Computer Basics Matters

For many residents of Bedford-Stuyvesant, a lack of comfort with computers isn't just an inconvenience — it's a barrier to employment, healthcare access, education, and staying connected with family. Computer Basics was built to remove that barrier, one step at a time, in a welcoming, judgment-free environment where no question is too small.

Who This Is For

Computer Basics is designed for adults and seniors who are new to computers or want to build a stronger foundation. No prior experience is required — participants move at a pace that respects where they're starting from, with one-on-one support available throughout.
