These open lab sessions are a great way to improve your computer skills by using one of several online tutorials.

MONDAYS:

PRINT ARTIST GROUP – OPEN SESSION* (WEEKLY)
[New Time] Mondays 10:00 – 12:00

For new members, please look for Print Artist Lessons occurring periodically on the activity calendar.

TUESDAYS:

BACK TO BASICS* (FOUR SESSIONS)
Tuesdays, March 9th – March 30th
10:00 – 11:30 AM

Has it been a while since you’ve work on a computer? Perhaps months or years have gone by since you’ve used computers on the job. You’ll find that recovering your computing skills is not an insurmountable task. If you have some experience using a computer running Windows and a bit of knowhow using a keyboard and mouse, let us help you sharpen your skills. It’s like riding a bicycle!
NOVICE SKILL LEVEL
* Registration required and seating limited. Suggested donation: $10

WEDNESDAYS:

DIGITAL PHOTO TRANSFERRING & RESIZING* (SINGLE SESSION)
Wednesday, March 17th
1:00 – 3:00 PM

This lesson addresses two very important skills in digital photography – getting the photos from camera to computer and reformatting them. Yes, camera memory cards are cheap, but now there’s no excuse for your photos never reaching your computer! Many of us keep our photos in the “digital realm” these days for uploading to websites and attaching to email. However, resizing the images is often necessary. Let us show you how it’s done!
