Learn by Doing
NCLab's courses are designed for complete beginners. Your patrons will enjoy our unique teaching method which is based on learning by doing. This is much more fun (and productive) than taking standard video-based courses. We have been fine-tuning our teaching method for years, to ensure the best possible learning experience for your patrons. We also have many years of experience training librarians.
You’ll Love Having NCLab In Your Library
NCLab does not require costly equipment or degrees. We provide tools, online training, materials, camp guides and more to support librarians of all backgrounds.
Real, typed code from the very beginning
Real work environments don’t have “drag and drop.” All NCLab students learn true programming language with proper syntax and structure.
Accessible to every student level
Students receive immediate visual and written feedback, making advanced programming and 3D modeling easier to learn than previously imagined.
Engaging and fun
Every course is a game-based, interactive adventure that engages your visitors at higher levels than traditional lecture-quiz formats.
Rich in math, geometry and art
NCLab courses place a strong emphasis on mathematics and serve as highly useful learning companions for algebra and geometry.
Self-paced, self-graded with full project support
Librarians receive materials to extend the online experience with hands-on activities, learning camps, coding nights, hackathons, and more.
Cloud based
No installation required. NCLab courses run virtually on any computer, laptop, tablet or Chromebook.
