Networking LiveBuild It. Then Watch It Work.
A hands-on day where dads learn how networks really work, build a live demo rig that sends video over ethernet until every screen lights up in sync, then head to Cosm in Inglewood to see that exact skill powering one of the wildest LED screens on earth.

Networking Live turns a lunch into a launchpad. Over a meal, dads learn the real fundamentals: what an IP address is, what a router actually does, and how data moves across ethernet and fiber. No jargon, no lecture. Just the stuff that runs the modern world, explained like you belong in the room, because you do.
Then it gets physical. With mentors from the field, each dad builds and tests a working network, wiring up a live demo rig that pushes video over ethernet across displays until they all move as one. From there, we roll to Cosm in Inglewood for a behind-the-scenes look at how a massive LED dome is run, and dads see the exact skill they just learned powering it. Suddenly a tech career isn't a far-off idea. It's a room they're standing in.
This is for you if any of this sounds like you.
You learn best by doing, with your hands on the actual gear.
You've always wondered how the internet and those giant screens really work.
You want a real taste of a tech career before committing to a full course.
You'd show up curious and leave with a skill and a story.
One day, start to finish, built to finish.

Not promises. Proof.
A Network You Built
You wired it, tested it, and watched it carry live video. That's a real skill, in your hands.
A Look Inside Cosm
A behind-the-scenes tour of one of the most advanced screens on earth, and how it's run.
A Career Connection
A clear line from what you built to the jobs that pay for it, plus the people who hire for them.
The Brotherhood
A day with mentors and other dads who show up, and keep showing up.
I made a cable, plugged it in, and every screen lit up together. Then we're standing in Cosm looking at the same thing on a screen the size of a building. My son will not stop talking about it.

The stuff you’re actually wondering.
Do I need any tech background?
Not a bit. If you can follow along and use your hands, you'll leave having built a working network. We teach it plain, no jargon.
Is it really free, including the Cosm trip?
Yes. Lunch, materials, the build, and the field trip are all on us.
What if I've never touched networking gear?
Perfect, that's the whole point. Mentors walk you through every step, and you test your own work before you leave.
Where can this lead?
Straight into IT & Cybersecurity Foundations if you catch the bug, plus a first look at the jobs and the people who do this for a living.
