Virtual Young Adult (and Parent) Open Lab: Stafford Location

July 23 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm
Virtual Event

Summer is starting to wind down, but we know technology never does.   We had such a great turnout at our last Young Adult & Parent open lab.  Several of you joined us in person, and we had a good number of people join us virtually.  We know that the summer schedules can be somewhat challenging since many are travelling and out of their routines.

Please note:  Our next open lab will be virtual only.  This event is always open to the public, so feel free to share.  It is typically held every 4th Thursday of the month. We will talk about fun and useful apps for your smartphone and tablet.  I always come prepared with a topic to share.

For the month of June we discussed:
During the open lab, we learned about cloud storage, including the differences between iOS and Android platforms and how to access iCloud files from a Windows PC. We also reviewed a fall internship opportunity, discussing eligibility, application requirements, and available supports. 

This month:
As we gear up for a new school year and possible scheduling changes, we will talk about syncing calendars across devices, creating events on your calendar, and adding reminders to keep you on track.  If you like to write things down, but still like to use your mobile devices to keep track of your appointments and events, we’ll show you a couple of free hybrid apps (allowing you to do both – write with paper/pencil and have it on your phone also without double the work).

We will also be sharing resources for transition-aged adults and their parents from our Texas Youth 2 Adult website.  Although we will gear our conversations towards young adults, it is very helpful to have parents attend as well.  This website is geared to helping parents navigate all the many lists of things to do as their young adults transition into adulthood.

Again, this month we are only offering a virtual option.  In August our in-person (with virtual option) open labs will resume.
