Please note that Techstravaganza is an ongoing weekly workshop, so you will not need to register every week.

Important Announcement:
Return to Google Meet as of Wednesday, June 18
It is with regret that we inform you that as of Wednesday, June 18’s workshop, we will be required to return to Google Meet for all sessions going forward. Over the last couple of weeks, Zoom has implemented updates to their software which resulted in problematic accessibility issues, now making it almost impossible for us as screen reader users to effectively schedule and host a meeting. After much thought and further testing, we felt that returning to Google Meet would be the best course of action, and will allow us to continue to provide weekly workshops to help you along on your technological journey. This being said, we can appreciate and completely understand the frustration of having to switch back and forth between platforms, and wish to extend our sincere apologies for the inconvenience. We hope that you will continue to join us on our journey, and I’m more than happy to assist anyone who is experiencing difficulty with the Google Meet platform in order to ensure that you’ll be able to join us and get the most out of our workshops.
