Students

Welcome to the Edison Mac Lab

You must understand the rules and expectations before beginning any projects in this class. You are responsible for your own learning and responsible for knowing and understanding the rules and expectations that follow on this page. I’d suggest taking this responsibility seriously because your success in this class heavily depends on you understanding and taking these rules seriously.

Mac Lab Saturday School

Part of the culture of the Edison Mac Lab, is that the job is never done. You are not just learning software. You are learning project management, time management, critical thinking, organization, etc. You are developing 21st Century Skills to be successful in a competitive global economy. Sometimes this requires extra time outside of class. The Saturday Lab is in place to ensure your success. The lab is open at least one Saturday per month from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. You will receive extra credit for your effort.
