Technology has become a part of so many people’s lives, but not everyone has the knowledge or confidence to keep up with the constant changes. This short, hands-on computer course will get you started with the essentials such as typing, using the mouse, searching the internet, sending an email, filling in forms, and managing your files, all to help you gain confidence using technology’s core skills.

We run Computer Basics twice each term. You only need to book into one term.

Bookings are essential as classes are small. Bring your own device or borrow one of ours for the classes.

Disclaimer: Participants must have a library card. Participants should commit to attending all term. Non-attendance will result in forfeiting of the ticket.

The Create Space is a free, multipurpose hub for making, learning, exploring and experimenting. Whether you're working on a passion project, testing out new tech or just feeling curious, this self-directed space gives you access to a wide range of creative tools and technologies.

At our Create Space, you can access 3D printing, podcasting gear, film and photography equipment to support your innovation and collaboration.

To begin using the Create Space, you’ll need to attend a brief induction. These sessions cover our policies and help answer any questions you have about the space and its equipment.

Please note:

• Inductions are not hands-on workshops.
• Each session's booking closes one week before.
• Participants must be 16 years old and older OR 12-15 years old and accompanied by a responsible adult to book.
