The Midnight Music “BYO laptop” workshops are run by trainer Katie Wardrobe from Midnight Music.

Teachers bring their own laptop to the workshops (or borrow one!) and install free software or demo versions of paid software applications ahead of the session. Sessions include “how-to” tutorials and curriculum integration suggestions. No prior knowledge is assumed (unless specified) and the atmosphere is fun and relaxing.
