Essential Skills for Your Digital World

December 5, 2017

Essential Skills for Your Digital World

New public outreach program to launch in January

In recognition of the new BC primary and secondary school Applied Design, Skills and Technologies curriculum — and the growing number of tech companies in the Okanagan — faculty members and several community members with education and computational science backgrounds have developed a foundational digital skills program for adults.

Offered in partnership with the Okanagan Regional Library, this free, six-part program introduces participants with little or no technical background to core computational thinking concepts.

For details on the upcoming January offering, visit: yourdigitalworld.ok.ubc.ca
