Join us for a summer filled with fun activities!
Summer Studio: A Tech Workshop Series at SketchPad
June 12, 18, and 25 from 2:00-3:00 pm
This 3-part summer workshop series is designed to build practical skills, foster creativity, and introduce professionals to tools that can transform how they work and think. Through a mix of hands-on learning, real-time support, and peer-driven experimentation, participants will explore platforms like Notion, Craft Docs, and Google Docs, not just as tech tools, but as powerful frameworks for clarity, collaboration, and innovation.
In addition to digital fluency, this series is about cultivating confidence and curiosity. Attendees will leave with a sharpened skill set, new workflows to bring into their daily routines, and the motivation to try new approaches in their work and beyond. It’s approachable, energizing, and designed with real-world applications in mind. Learn more and register here.
