Technical requirements

What computer and internet setup does Egg Academy need for live weekday sessions from home?

Egg Academy runs in the browser on a basic computer or laptop from home. This page lists the full device specs we recommend, plus microphone, mouse, and internet needs for live sessions.

Everyday setup

  • Basic computer or laptop -- Chromebooks OK for starter and most intermediate work
  • Microphone and mouse
  • Reliable internet connection
  • Headphones (recommended)

Computer requirements

  • ChromeOS, Windows 10 or 11, or macOS
  • 2.0 GHz processor
  • 4GB RAM
  • Graphics with at least 1GB dedicated or shared video RAM

Heavier 3D, video, or animation projects may run more smoothly on a newer device or one with a dedicated graphics card -- facilitators can suggest lighter tools when needed.

We check technology during the student check-in, so you do not need to worry if you are not sure. Parents should ensure their teen has what they need before live sessions.

Common questions

Can my teen use a Chromebook?
Yes. Chromebooks are fine for the Starter Course and most intermediate work. See the computer requirements below for RAM and graphics guidance.
Do we need a webcam?
Camera is optional in live sessions. A microphone is required equipment so voice is available when your teen is ready -- many start with text chat first.
What if we are not sure our setup is good enough?
We check tech during the family check-in before sessions begin. See how we bring on new students on how Egg Academy works.
