projects

TechTeam runs projects all year around. In the fall, TechTeam generally has a project (or two) for returning or more experienced members. In the winter and spring, TechTeam organizes a number of different teams working with community organizations and local government to create technical solutions, ranging from websites to data analysis to social media assistance to mobile apps.
