If you are wanting to brush up on basic computer skills or learn more about Internet safety, sign up for our upcoming workshop! This in-person class is geared towards adults with little to no prior computer experience. Computers will be provided but attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptop if they prefer.

By the end of this class, participants will be able to use basic computer hardware, navigate a desktop and open applications, browse the internet safely, recognize common online scams and phishing attempts, and practice good password habits. Register by going to techtoss.org/event-sign-up -class.

Hi all, our summer internship program officially comes to a close this week. Starting next week we will have new hours of operation.

We have loved how many people are talking about Tech Toss and who have dropped by to say “hi,” but due to staff limitations, we are unable to continue accommodating most drop-ins. While our doors are fully open on Wednesdays from 9am to 5pm, we are closed to the public the remainder of the week. To schedule an appointment for tours, meetings, donation drop-offs or equipment pick-ups, please email [email protected]. As we continue to grow and gain funding, we hope to have more drop-in days, but until then, we thank you for understanding! The full weekly schedule is below.

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
- Wednesdays from 9am to 5pm

BY APPOINTMENT ONLY
- Thursdays from 9am to 5pm
- Fridays from 9am to 5pm

CLOSED
- Saturday through Tuesday
