Our Smartphones baffle us. So we hand them off to our teenagers to program. Our computers frustrate us. So we call the Geek Squad (or our teenager, again) to untangle us from the mess. Don’t you wish you could solve the problem yourself?

We Are Black Women wants to help you do just that. This fall, WABW will hold the first Philadelphia WABW Tech Camp for women over the age of 40. Tech Camp is a series of workshops for beginners who just want to familiarize themselves with the basics – of their Smartphone, computer, social networking on Facebook and Twitter, blogs. It will be followed by other camps in Philadelphia (including intermediate and advanced), with plans to take it on the road. 

Preliminary topics:

How to use your Blackberry, Smartphone or other wireless device effectively.
How to set up your own blog and use it creatively (from domain name to choosing a blogging tool). Blogs vs website?
How to effectively use social networking (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube) and other tools (podcasts) to boost your business or community organization
How to troubleshoot your computer problems
How to search effectively on the web for free software and other stuff – the best of Google
