Talk Tech With Chet
The curriculum and instruction, delivered on site or supported for local delivery.
Libraries & Community Organizations
The program your patrons keep asking for.
Libraries, senior centers, nonprofits, and faith organizations are already where people go for help. BTATL brings the structured curriculum and patient instruction to match the demand you are already seeing.
What gets in the way
- Staff and volunteers are asked technology questions constantly, without curriculum, time, or a way to say no kindly.
- Drop-in help solves one person's immediate problem and teaches nobody anything durable.
- Program quality depends entirely on whoever happens to be on shift.
- Funders want to see structure and outcomes, not attendance sheets.
What we bring to it
The parts of the BTATL ecosystem that apply here, and what each one does for this audience.

Where a partner wants to continue independently afterwards, we can discuss supporting local delivery.

Boundaries and requirements
What we will not claim, and what has to be true for this to work. We would rather be clear now than impressive now.
- We deliver education. We are not a technical help desk and do not repair devices or recover accounts.
- Licensing terms for local delivery are agreed case by case and are not a published offer.
- Program reach depends on the partner's recruitment; we cannot commit to attendance numbers.
- 180Angles is educational and is not an emergency or reporting service.
