On-site Tech Support
At Making Connections, you’ll have the opportunity to get some tech support from some amazing volunteers from AMP. At our recent Tea and Tech day, AMP volunteers were able to help 19 seniors with various tech issues including watching TV on a tablet, navigating a new laptop and installing apps like WhatsApp and Nymbl (ACC’s new fitness app). They’ll be available again at Making Connections to help you with any tech issues you have. Just bring your device and visit the Tea and Tech station on the day.
