The Technology Education Collaborative supports the secure, thoughtful use of technology.

We help people better understand the tech embedded in their everyday lives. TEC does this with an emphasis on practical application by hosting events ranging from Right to Repair workshops, Privacy meetups and tech field trips and demos. We even have a micro-lockpick village. TEC offers the public free guided access to 3D printers, enterprise-grade servers, Linux machines and even a podcast studio through our agreement with the Advanced Cyber Systems Lab at GateWay Community College.
