We intend to repeat sessions in the spring, so recommend that you pick 
ONE session to attend and use the detailed notes on our website to help 
you identify the session that is the best fit for your needs.



Sessions are held online and include access to our online forums for 
additional help after the session is complete.



PTP's TechCamp Online sessions all follow this general outline:

1. (3 minutes) Introduction to session, presenter, and group

2. (5 minutes) Review session objectives - what does this session cover

3. (37 minutes) Teach skills enumerated in session objectives. We will 
teach each skill as follows:

o Presenter will explain the skill

o Presenter will demonstrate the skill

o Participants will have a few minutes to practice skill/ask questions

o Presenter will repeat demonstration

4. We will go down the list of skills, following this method. At the end 
of the skill instruction, we will have 15 minutes that are available for 
additional practice and questions for any interested participants. The 
extra practice and questions are completely optional.

Intermediate level sessions feature more flexibility and a tighter focus 
on questions from participants. If you have specific skills you are 
would like to see covered, please follow the instructions sent to you 
when you register. While we can't accommodate all requests, we will do 
our best to address your questions

Cost for each session is $20
