This computer science guide was not something I could breeze through. It was challenging, but I have a starting point now. I am eager to move forward. I want to thank Level for providing the information you do. These lessons have truly been key in giving us the tools to start a change in our behaviors and lives.

- Damon, incarcerated in Illinois

I enjoyed learning about computer science - how computers run on binary numbers, detect and correct errors, and keep information protected. You should make a second guide in this series. I recommend Level to a lot of people in the prison that I am at. I enjoy learning and being with the Level community.

- Diante, in prison in Illinois

I had never previously studied computer science. This is the best course I have received from you to date. It contained challenging but understandable material that has practical application. It's excellent content, presented well, achievable, convenient. I recommend Level regularly - thank you for your programs!
