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.
In order to join in the workshop, please use the following conference information.
On this week’s Techstravaganza, we’ll deep dive into Envision AI, an app that allows users to scan and read paper documents and perform Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on PDF documents etc.
Please note that any topic that we do not cover during this session will be carried over to the next workshop, on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. If you have any questions or topic suggestions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the team:
Here is where you can listen to our Techstravaganza 2.0 recording for Thursday, June 12, 2025, in which we took an indepth look at AIRA, a visual assistance app for users who are blind and partially sighted.

This is just a friendly heads up of our Techstravaganza 2.0 session coming up this afternoon from 1:00 to 3:00 PM Eastern! The studio will open 15 minutes prior to each workshop, in order to allow everyone to set up and settle in. The studio is now open, and the workshop will start promptly at 1:00 PM.
