Our program at WVA requires students to have a desktop, laptop, or chromebook device. The device does not have to be a huge financial investment. We do have a limited number of chromebooks available for checkout. A device with 4GB of ram running chrome will be powerful enough to run our programs (If you are unsure, please reach out to our office). Students will need a microphone and camera with their device. This could be built-in or an external webcam. Most chromebooks (and all that we check out) come with this feature.
