men in computer lab Our Technology Center is open each weekday from approximately 9 AM to 6 PM to anyone in Area IV or Cambridge who might like access to a computer or the internet. We also have classes two evenings a week to help you learn new computer skills.

We offer free Computer Classes!

4 & 12-week programs with instructor

Our computer classes include a basic Introduction To The Internet (4-week program) and our more Advanced Computer Class (8 week sessions) might focus on Word, Access, or Excel. Our classes are taught by an experienced adult education teacher, Bill Nadler, who will guide you through the process of better understanding computers and special applications.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING OUR FREE CLASSES GO TO SPECIAL CLASSES TO LEARN THE CURRENT SCHEDULES.

Seating is limited as the MFNH has 8 Computer Workstations

Sign up early to reserve a computer for each 4-8week session. To pre-register for class, you may come in person, call or e-mail.

Our Technology Center goal is to reduce the Digital Divide for Area IV residents. Fluency with technology is now crucial to one’s ability to succeed in the emerging global information society. Students gain confidence in using various applications and will begin to transfer this knowledge and confidence into their working and/or job search environment. men working at a computer

Over 200 different community residents use our lab each year--some monthly, many each week, and several almost daily. Our Technology Lab provides an opportunity for users to learn new and also upgrade their skills. Many access the Internet for job searches, e-mail, and research. Some clients use the computers to prepare resumes and job applications with the support of our Outreach Staff and our computer Teacher. We see “daily access” as a critical step in helping young and older adults make positive career changes. Most of our users do not have computers in their homes or Internet capabilities.

Community Access: We have recently purchased eight new CPUs for the lab and have had the extensive help of a volunteer IT professional that helped upgrade our lab and computer capabilities. The new computers have addressed hardware and software issues, and revamped our computer network.
