The Fall Tech Express

Introduction

The Tech Express is a series of user-friendly brown-bag sessions on computing at Stanford. These sessions, held from 12:00 to 1:00 P.M and led by knowledgeable ITSS staff, are intended to meet the needs of Stanford staff, but are open to everyone, including faculty and students. No registration is required – come by and learn something new! Bring your lunch! Bring your questions! Drinks and cookies provided.

Fall Tech Express sessions will be held Thursdays in Turing Auditorium (Polya Hall, Room 111).

The success of these sessions depends on you! Questions from attendees are strongly encouraged. Topics are announced in advance through the techexpress mailing list and on this web page.
