Remote meetings require use of a device with at least the capability of a Chromebook connected to the internet. Although not required, we recommend the device is equipped with a webcam and microphone to permit full engagement with mentors and other participants.
Course software will run best in Chrome, but is compatible with other web browsers. The most recent version of Zoom should be used.
