How it works

Tech for Non Tech helps folks build their digital fluency by deepening their understanding of web development and learning how to work with delivery teams. You'll learn how to make well-informed and sustainable technical decisions. The classes are functional, flexible and tailored to your needs and are conducted through interactive and active learning.

We believe that digitally fluent teams are crucial in the making of technology that is accessible, sustainable and useful to all.

Workshop structure

Tech for Non Tech begins with our foundational content. The workshops are an interactive experience that enable active participation for lasting knowledge. Once participants have completed these, we deliver bespoke classes with custom content—informed by your goals for transformation and upcoming project work.
