What you get for your $10.00
Opportunities to take classes in various computer related subjects. The availability of classes depends on volunteers to run classes. If you want to share your knowledge, speak to a BCTC board member.
Our SIG (Special Interest Group) program is an opportunity for people who have an interest in a particular topic to get together to exchange information and explore the topic more fully. Previous SIGs have been "How to Use Photoshop," Nature Photography," etc. SIGs will be involved with uses of the computer and computer software to perform various tasks related to the topic. This could be the sharing of websites with information on the topic, discussions, demonstrations, or even classes in using specific software. Members of the SIG may be at any level of computer expertise from beginner to expert,and itis anticipated that everyone will learn something. The only requirement for joining a SIG is your interest in the subject. The SIGs are very informal and loosely structured. Each SIG has a volunteer coordinator who has some experience with the subject matter and related computer resources. All SIGS will be scheduled prior to our general meetings.
Our association with local computer clubs, the Florida Association of Computer User Groups (FACUG), and Associaton of Personal Computer User Groups (APCUG) enhances the availability of speakers, classes, and SIGS.
