Goal met! TechCharities recently teamed up with Digitunity and Easter Seals- Goodwill and provided multiple workshops and helped over 100 individuals learn more about Cybersecurity and Internet Basics! We were able to provide people with the basic skills and knowledge needed to use digital devices and tools to engage in today’s digital world. Each participant was given a free Chromebook. We hope to do more workshops in the future! A special thanks to Jennifer Foster @ Easter Seals- Goodwill Northern Rocky Mountain Inc for providing the space and helping to arrange each workshop.

Workshop #2 was a success! Participants learned about Internet Basics and Cybersecurity! What is ‘Internet Basics’? This in-person workshop is for those who are new to the internet or want to build more confidence finding information online and navigating websites. Attendees will learn about web browsers and search engines, build skills to navigate the internet, and discover tips and tricks for basic and advanced searching online. What is ‘Cybersecurity’? This in-person workshop is for those who are interested in safety online and want to protect themselves from fraudsters and scams. It will build participants’ confidence when they are visiting websites, creating passwords, and responding to email. ONE WORKSHOP LEFT! Join us…
