1:00 pm: Tech Together


Mar 19

 

Tech Together

Do you use your access technology regularly, but don’t have time to keep up with what’s new and what’s changing? Do you sometimes hit roadblocks in your technology use and wish you could problem solve with someone else? Do you love your iPhone or iPad and want to learn more about accessible apps? Are you a screen reader or magnification user who’s trying to adapt to increasingly complex websites? Do you just want to talk about technology and the latest developments for blind and low vision users? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions , the Lighthouse invites you to Tech Together. Tech Together is a monthly technology learning group of blind and low vision technology users. We blind folks are resourceful and clever, but there is no reason we should each have to reinvent the wheel, or the app, for ourselves. In these sessions, we will discuss the topics that are of interest to the group, and help one another to understand troubleshooting, find app recommendations, and learn about the latest in Tech… Together! These sessions will be facilitated by LightHouse Access Technology specialists, but the meat of the event is for the participants to decide on themselves.  Come with ideas on topics and bits of news and software you want to share with your friends. If you’re brand new to access technology, you may wish to book an individual appointment with an Access Technology instructor before joining this group. This group is free and open to all, but a current LightHouse waiver is required. To make sure you’re registered as a LightHouse student, contact Amelia Hogan, 415-694-7343 or ahogan@lighthouse-sf.org

5:30 pm: The Milestones Meetup Launch Party


Mar 22

Have you ever wanted to learn from the wisdom of those older than you or seek the insight of those younger than you? Do you realize that vision changes happen at any age and we can all learn from each other?
Join us Friday, March 22nd from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., when the LightHouse kicks off our Milestones Meetup Series with a launch party! We thank our San Francisco funder, DAAS, for making this new program possible.
The Milestones Meet-Up is aimed to bring Lighthouse  Blind and Low Vision San Franciscans from Generation Z, Generation X, and Baby Boomers to come together and participate in a series of Meet-Ups that are active, educational and just plain fun. But wait?!  You don’t live in SF? Come anyway if you are Gen Z, X or Boomer! Share your experiences, discover commonalities, learn from one another. Not sure what generation you are a part of? Baby Boomers range in age from 55 to 72, Generation X from 42 to 54, and members of Generation Z are 26 and younger. What’s happening at the Meet-Up? Participants will learn more about the Milestones Meet-Up, including details about upcoming events.  Come and network with us. Participate in games and activities designed to get to know each other. Enjoy pizza and other light refreshments! This event will be at the LightHouse Headquarters, 1155 Market Street in San Francisco, on the 10th floor in the Pre-Function area and Multi-Purpose Rooms. There is no cost for this event, but RSVPs are strongly recommended so we have enough pizza! When you RSVP, let us know your three favorite pizza toppings (also if you are veggie, or dairy/gluten free)! Please RSVP and send questions to Bobbi Pompey, Independent Living Skills Specialist, at bpompey@lighthouse-sf.org or (415) 694-7613. See you there!
