Nakai Theatre and Pinnguaq hosted workshops from February to June for Yukon artists, makers, musicians, producers, and arts admins to improve their "everyday" digital skills. All ages, experience levels and artistic practices/backgrounds were welcome!

Thanks to our partnering with Yukonstruct in Whitehorse we were able to stream workshops in a classroom and make some laptops available for use.
