Technical Services
Technical Services provides a key service mainly in the form of setting up and running our presentation equipment to support Club events.
This involves setting up our Club projector, Mac Book Pro laptop, audio amplifier, microphones, and operating the lights. As a Technical Services volunteer, you can learn many valuable tips on how to run software and set up presentations.
This information can be helpful if you want to make presentations yourself, or help out at other events that you are involved in. Because many on Technical Services have experience with photography and software, they can be a helpful resource to those who might consider joining us.
Besides, to top it off we are the coolest bunch in the Club!
