Atari Computer Classroom (Left Door)

Come visit our Atari Classroom. Learn the essentials of programming in BASIC and 6502 Assembly language on real Atari computer hardware. Every vintage computer hobbyist shouldn’t miss experiencing the appeal of programming with these original computers. Familiarize yourself with this historical computer with a hands-on coding experience. Learn the user-friendly BASIC language, or get deep into the hardware using low-level Assembly Language.

Daily schedules include periods of open computer time, during which you can explore programming, games, and applications that we have available.

(Class size is limited. Please come to the classroom at 8am each day to sign up for a spot in that day’s classroom schedule.)
