Congratulations to our Tech Ex Winners for 2013

Tech Ex 2013 was a great event for Computers in Homes Whanganui. In our stand we highlighted the pictures and stories of our graduates from previous years.  We also ran a prize draw for new and previous Computers in Homes families.

Trisha Ngatai expressed interest in Computers in Homes courses coming up.  She won our prize of a 32 GB USB Flash Drive.  This is a photo of her and her son Steven with their prize. Our team wishes them well on their CIH journey.

Ariana Wiatai was the winner of the CIH Graduates draw and won a Skype kit for her computer.  Ariana completed her course in 2010.  She wrote "I gained confidence in basic computing but my children have definately benefited from having a computer in the home for school and personal use.  Thank you so much Computers in Homes"

Tech Ex 2013

Thank you to everyone who supported us at Techex this year.  It was a great event.

Here is Robin Williamson (pictured to the right), who does our graduation surveys at our stand.  We focused this year on telling the stories of what our graduated got out of having a Computer in Homes PC.  It was well received and we have many families to follow up with either on Computers in Homes or Stepping Up training.

The star of the Tech Ex event were the KiwiSkills stand and their epic IT challenge.  It was great to see so many getting very serious about technology challenges.  Here are the serious faces of the challengers
