SUMMARY:Online: WordPress Help Desk
DESCRIPTION:Go here to schedule a call: https://optsus.com/wp-help-desk/ \nAs the pandemic wanes\, there is a “new normal” for the WordPress Help Desk. \nWordPress Help Desk events will be online as a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call. \nTo schedule a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call\, simply use the calendar found here: https://optsus.com/wp-help-desk/ \nConfused? Please read this entire description including the TLDR and FAQ sections to clear up any confusion about changes as this event has changed from in-person to online. \nWe look forward to helping you with WordPress. \n—-TLDR—- \nI’m adding to the description because some people have been confused by these events. The link above is for you to schedule the WordPress Help Desk 1-on-1 call. The available times are generally from 9 AM until 10 AM\, which is why this event is scheduled for that time. However\, this is not a group call. \nWhen the world shifted to hosting events from home\, back in March of 2020\, I tested this as a group call. As people received answers for their questions about WordPress\, they left the call. This frustrated the people who had to wait and listen to the other questions and answers during the call. I don’t want to waste everyone’s time in this way. \nAt an in-person event\, it’s possible to work in a group and ask questions as they come up. However\, this does not transition into a video conference call very well. Instead\, I have opened up my calendar to schedule 1-on-1 calls using the link above. We will focus on the one question you have about your website. \nThe reason this event is reoccurring here on Meetup is to let you know the WordPress Help Desk events are still available. Before the pandemic\, this was an event hosted in Raleigh once per month for two hours. Now\, this is a 1-on-1 video conference call scheduled for 20 minute blocks multiple times throughout the month. \nThere will be no link shared for a group call with this event. The WordPress Help Desk events have become 1-on-1 video conference calls which can be scheduled using the link above. \n—-FAQ—- \nWhere is the link to join the call? \n\nIf you are looking for a link to join a group call\, there isn’t one. These events have moved to 1-on-1 scheduled appointments. When you schedule your appointment\, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to join your 1-on-1 call.\n\nWhy can’t I get into the Zoom call? \n\nPlease check the date and time in the confirmation email for your scheduled 1-on-1 call\, after using the link above to schedule your 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call.\nAlso\, we use Google Meet for these calls. It’s similar to Zoom\, just a different brand of video calling.\n\nWhy is this event repeating each morning\, but there are no available appointment times this morning? \n\nThese calls are scheduled in advance. If there is no time available today\, you can book your call for the next available time.\n\nWhat is the point of having these events on Meetup if we are scheduling 1-on-1 calls with another calendar? \n\nThese events were held in-person with 20 – 50 people attending once per month. Since the pandemic forced these events to move online\, we have helped more people than we did in the past with in-person events. For this reason\, the WordPress Help Desk events will remain online using scheduled 1-on-1 calls. Use the link above to schedule your call for a convenient time.

SUMMARY:Java Programming: Hands-on Learning with FRC Robotics
DESCRIPTION:Class Description\nThe program is designed to learn Java programming with the goal that all students will be capable to program a complex FRC robot for basic functions.\nThis course is typically geared toward students entering grades 7-12. Some previous coding experience is necessary to understand coding syntax.\nCoding is becoming a major skill needed in any field. This skill is one of the foundations of STEM careers for the next generation. This course is designed to inspire your child to pursue STEM academics and is their first step toward a future STEM career in programming or computer engineering. \nStudents will learn basic programming principles with Java. Hands-on exercises encourage students to think like a coder and develop important logic and problem-solving skills. \nStudents will learn all pertinent programming basics to gain the ability to start programming an FRC Robot. \nClass Schedule\nEvery Monday\, there are two sessions available at 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM or 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM \nClass Start date = 10/04 and End date = 11/29 \nThe program will be delivered in person at 2102 Cambridge Beltway Drive. \nAll student requires to have his/her computer to participate in the class. Hardware assistance is available \nPossession of a Windows based PC will be necessary for this class. If you do not have one you can obtain one through e-2-d.org.

SUMMARY:Online: WordPress Help Desk
DESCRIPTION:Go here to schedule a call: https://optsus.com/wp-help-desk/ \nAs the pandemic wanes\, there is a “new normal” for the WordPress Help Desk. \nWordPress Help Desk events will be online as a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call. \nTo schedule a 1-on-1 WordPress Help Desk call\, simply use the calendar found here: https://optsus.com/wp-help-desk/ \nConfused? Please read this entire description including the TLDR and FAQ sections to clear up any confusion about changes as this event has changed from in-person to online. \nWe look forward to helping you with WordPress. \n—-TLDR—- \nI’m adding to the description because some people have been confused by these events. The link above is for you to schedule the WordPress Help Desk 1-on-1 call. The available times are generally from 9 AM until 10 AM\, which is why this event is scheduled for that time. However\, this is not a group call. \nWhen the world shifted to hosting events from home\, back in March of 2020\, I tested this as a group call. As people received answers for their questions about WordPress\, they left the call. This frustrated the people who had to wait and listen to the other questions and answers during the call. I don’t want to waste everyone’s time in this way. \nAt an in-person event\, it’s possible to work in a group and ask questions as they come up. However\, this does not transition into a video conference call very well. Instead\, I have opened up my calendar to schedule 1-on-1 calls using the link above. We will focus on the one question you have about your website. \nThe reason this event is reoccurring here on Meetup is to let you know the WordPress Help Desk events are still available. Before the pandemic\, this was an event hosted in Raleigh once per month for two hours. Now\, this is a 1-on-1 video conference call scheduled for 20 minute blocks multiple times throughout the month. \nThere will be no link shared for a group call with this event.
