TINCAN's Neighborhood College
Provides online content that is useful to ordinary people in the Inland Northwest. Our mini-workshops cover topics of interest to our neighborhood residents such as car repair, stretching your budget, grassroots leadership, and simple energy conservation, as well as recreational topics such as genealogy and crafts.  The emphasis is less on how to use the Internet, but on why you should use it.  In these workshops, technology and the Internet become the tools that support your interests. 
Once you know that there is great information online about things that you are personally interested in, then you can decide if you want to develop your Internet skills further.  If you want to learn more about how to use the Internet, we will point you to locally available classes and workshops.
mini-Workshops
These are designed so that anyone interested in the topic can become a trainer of others interested in the same topic.  TINCAN provides online pages that are the framework for the training.  We are also available to do workshops and teach volunteer trainers, either in your own computer center, or using our mobile computer lab that can be set up anywhere we have access to a network or a telephone line.
Get Involved!
The Neighborhood College is always looking for new topics to develop, volunteers to help develop workshops and to become trainers, and of course, opportunities to hold workshops at various community locations.  If you have ideas, or want to volunteer, email us at neighborhoodcollege@tincan.org or call (509)744-0972.
