H3314: Intro to the Japanese Language in Spark! 2010 (Mar. 13, 2010)
Have any interest in Japan? Come learn a bit about the language! We'll give you a basic introduction to both spoken and written Japanese, with an emphasis on speaking. This class is not for students who have taken Japanese before or for students who have taught themselves Japanese though anime. Expect to learn a lot in this class but still feel absolutely clueless by the end of it; Japanese is an incredibly complex language and we'll barely be able to scratch the surface in three hours.


H3315: Intro to the Japanese Language: Part Two! in Spark! 2010 (Mar. 13, 2010)
Still interested in Japanese despite having taken our other class? Come get some more exposure to the language, then have more information thrown at you, including how to find lessons in your area and what you should study on your own.


H1636: Boffer Construction in Splash! 2008 (Nov. 22 - 23, 2008)
Tired of using a videogame controller to fight your battles? Come build a boffer weapon and be your own avatar! A boffer is a padded foam weapon constructed to strict safety standards used for fights in Live Action Role-Playing (LARPing) or just plain fun. In this class we will learn to build basic mid-length swords. ***Teacher's note: If you have attended this class before, PLEASE refrain from signing up so that others may try something new. Thanks!
