Lavinia Ratley graduated from her Tech Goes Home computer training class this week! Not only did she learn computer skills, and make friends, she was also able to purchase a $50 chrome book as part of graduating the class. Tech Goes Home holds computer training classes around the Boston area at different locations. Lavinia was taking her classes in the computer lab at Codman Square Neighborhood Development Corporation once a week.

When asked about the class, Lavinia said, “This is what I needed to get motivated. I made friends, it was a way of connecting to new people who are motivated in doing things. It was a really positive experience.”  Lavinia also mentioned she was planning on getting lunch with some of her new friends.

To complete a Tech Goes Home computer training class, you need to complete 15 hours of training. The trainings are held by volunteers of Tech Goes Home that help assist with computer skills and other special functions that Google Chrome has to offer. Tech Goes Home offers classes to schools, community centers, small business development organizations, and other TGH sites.
