*NOTE: Our in-person workshops are on hold; connect with us to explore our remote learning options.

Our workshops take a different approach to teaching technology; we take things slow, define terms along the way, and leave plenty of time for questions. Our most popular workshop topics focus on using specific apps on the iPad and iPhone, but we also develop custom programs for clients.
