What is Tech to Go? ✱✱✱
Tech to Go とは？
Tech to Go aims to help connect generational bridges through technology. Our mission is to create programs to better connect and involve anyone interested in learning about their devices through learning, volunteerism, and fun. Additionally, we hope to increase digital fluency and interest among seniors by offering a safe and supportive community to practice and learn.
Tech to Go はテクノロジーを使うことで世代間の橋渡しをします。シニアの方々が楽しみながら学び、そしてボランティアすることを通じてコミュニティーとのつながりを深めます。安心できる環境でデジタルデバイスを練習して、もっと便利で楽しい毎日を！

✱✱✱ Session Types ✱✱✱
Tech Clubs / テッククラブ
Our tech support club aims to provide an interactive environment in small class sizes (approx. 10 people). We offer fun activities, creative tech-projects, as well as beginner lessons where students can learn together.
１０人前後のクラスでみんなで学ぶクラスです。クラスでは写真やズームなど、トピックに沿って学んでいきます。
*Programs and topics vary depending on the location.
1-on-1 / 1対1
The one-on-one, private learning session offers focused time on the student to solve their specific or personal tech-issues. Each booking runs for 45 mins.
プライベートレッスンは、直接インストラクターにマンツーマンで質問できる時間です。各時間帯４５分。個人的にわからないことを質問したい場合はこちらをどうぞ！
＊インストラクターの予定によって、２対１ほどの比率になる場合があります。
Which session should I join?
If you are having trouble figuring out which session you would like to join, here are some scenarios that can help you figure out what your first session will be!
If you don't have a mobile device (phone, iPad/tablet, or laptop), we will provide you a tablet to borrow. Then, sign up for the One-On-One class. If you need, we can help you pick a device to purchase, as well as help set it up.
If you have a specific problem or topic that you're interested in, and it is not offered in a class session, sign up for our One-On-One class.
If you feel like you are somewhat new or don't use your device very often, sign up for our General Group Session. You can also specifically join a class with a topic that interests you!
If there is a class topic that you find interesting or fun, sign up for it! Even if you are a complete beginner, or someone who's more familiar with tech, everyone is welcome regardless of the session type (general/advanced). We will guide you no matter what level you are at. 😊
