COMPUTERS & iDEVICES

Tech Troubleshooting FREE! How wonderful our cell phones and computers are when they work, and how terribly annoying they are when they don’t! More often than not, it’s a simple problem that can be fixed by someone with a little savvy. Members of Mamaroneck High School’s Tech Club are offering 1:1 help. Bring your pesky device and learn from the people who know best — our teens! Come to any or all sessions according to your needs, but please register so that the Tech Club can staff appropriately. Matt Loebel, Spencer Stendig and David O’Rourke are Co-Presidents of the Tech Club. 5 Tuesdays: March 8 & 29, April 12 & 26, May 10: 3:15 – 4:45 pm MHS Palmer Rm 122 / Free / Code 150 iPhone Photography iPhones take great pictures and, unlike cameras, they’re always handy. You’ll learn how to take professional-looking photos, edit them, and use special effects to enhance them. We’ll also discuss ways to store your photos on your phone, share them with your other devices as well as with other people, and review some free apps that will make your iphoto-taking even better. Bring your fully charged iPhone and Apple ID and password.

DISCUSSION & LECTURES

American Lives NEW! “ ‘Any nation that expects to be ignorant and free,’ Jefferson said, ‘expects what never was and never will be.’ And if the gap between the educated and the uneducated in America continues to grow as it is in our time, as fast as or faster than the gap between the rich and the poor, the gap between the educated and the uneducated is going to be of greater consequence and the more serious threat to our way of life. We must not, by any means, misunderstand that.” – David McCullough In this election year, it is more important than ever to be educated. Be a part of lively discussions of three books about key founding American lives: Eve LaPlante’s American Jezebel
