DBHSelf StudyDo-It-YourselfCourses

We at DBH wanted our curriculum to be accessible for all. But we understand that everyone won't be able to experience the instructor-led version due to many different factors. We are building online courses that you can take at your own pace and time. You will still have access to ask the instructors any questions you may have. Right now we are building out the online courses for the Game Development Class. Each course is $5, and joining up also gives you access to the same resources students of the instructor-led workshops have. You also get discounted rates for our instructor-led workshops whenever you're ready to take those. You can join our online course platform below if you want to take one of these courses. We are building the rest and will update the online course platform when they're ready.
