Free workshops on technology and today’s digital lifestyle are being offered at the eighth annual Geek Day at Leeward Community College<\/a> on February 25, 10a.m.–2 p.m.<\/p>\n

The college offers free hands-on workshops and demonstrations on a variety of digital, mobile and technology topics, from digital photography to a variety of free online tools and services that can make life easier. A highlight of this year’s schedule is a session on “fake news,” a nonpartisan, fact-filled session on how to identify fake news and become a keen evaluator of information<\/p>\n

All sessions are designed for the general public. This year, an educators’ track is offered for teachers to help them explore new technologies for the classroom.<\/p>\n

Geek Day also offers a Digital Café where participants can discover new apps, receive one-on-one help with computer problems and learn about the Ricoh Theta S 360 video camera, a TP-LINK smart home plug, VR<\/abbr> headsets and Google Cardboard. Office Max staff will be available for help with smart phone maintenance.<\/p>\n

For the photography sessions, participants are asked to bring their own camera. For BYOD<\/abbr> sessions, participants are asked to bring their own mobile devices. Details on these sessions are included on the session information pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n
