Basic Excel computer training was conducted by Dr Nita Mennega from the Department of Informatics, University of Pretoria, aimed at empowering community members with essential digital skills. The programme covered fundamental topics such as mastering the operating system, using common software applications, and understanding internet safety and security. Participants engaged in hands-on activities, which enhanced their confidence in navigating technology, whether for personal use or professional development. Dr Mennega's approach emphasised practical learning and encouraged questions, making the sessions interactive and informative. By the end of the training, community members were equipped not only with skills but also with the knowledge to continue their exploration of the digital world. This initiative aimed to bridge the digital divide and ensure that everyone had the opportunity to thrive in an increasingly tech-oriented society.
