Education

Founded in 1982, STUG is committed to educate members as to the uses of applications, hardware and software of these devices. It is our mission to bring to our members quality education in using today’s personal technology products, and to provide to qualified citizens of Sarasota County refurbished computer equipment.

People have many different preferences when it comes to learning, and they bring to their learning different backgrounds and acquired knowledge. With that in mind, we have gathered STUG teaching into categories. Please explore them all!

  • Upcoming classes (currently, all on Zoom to allow members from all over to enjoy them)
  • The Monitor, our monthly newsletter
  • Resources we have found useful, from members and more
  • Tuggie’s Tips, a compilation of quick little bits. Tuggie’s smart enough to know that nobody knows everything, and discrete enough to teach you things you can claim to have always known.
  • Videos: Our Youtube channel has past presentations and more. (Note: Member-only claases, if taped, are only available for a short time and only to those members who registered in advance for that class.)
  • Groups.io is an online platform for discussion within the group. Members send and receive messages through their personal email inbox or via a web browser, keeping us connected but private. Perfect spot to ask specific questions and get answers from fellow members. How to join our Group

A large part of our mission is to refurbish and to provide refurbished electronic equipment. See RefurbProject for more.
