Question: Help!  I can't find the Backyard Hackers' classes on the Appleton Park and Rec site, and I'm totally freaking out!

Answer:  Us too!  If you can't find us, that's no good.  
                 Step 1: Click on "Youth Activities and Camps".  
                 Step 2: Search for "Stem" 
                 Step 3: Scroll down and find the class you're looking for.  
                 Step 4: Sign up for all of the classes!  (Just kidding, kind of. . .)

Question: If my kiddo wants to bring their own computer, what requirements should it have?

Answer:  We'll have everything the kids need for the classes.  No worries. 

Question: Once they're done with Mod Minecraft 1, how do they actually play their mod?

Answer:  Check out our Student Mod Page for a complete text walkthrough.  If you're more of the visual learner, search on the Youtubes for "Load Minecraft Mod 1.7"

Question:  Can we continue to work on the mod when class is over?

Answer: We are happy to share the project files with you once the class is over, just ask.  However, it's rather technical and can be difficult to get a modding environment setup.  For Little Crafters and Mod Minecraft 1, you're on your own for setting up your own modding environment. . .please don't ask.  


Question: How in the world do I let my kid's uncle play his RPG?  I want to rub it in his face, but the files are HUGE!

Answer:  We love showing off to our kids' uncles too!  You could setup a torrent and let them download the finished game.  With most connections it'll take about 20 minutes.  (If you've never created a torrent, it'll probably take you about 10 minutes to find a simple tutorial and follow it.)  Otherwise, putting a half a gig on a jump drive and mailing it will do the same thing.  

Question:  I have a sweet idea for something for you to teach, or would love to teach something myself!

Answer: Super sweet!  Shoot John an email at john@backyardhackers.com  He loves to dork-out about stuff like that.
