SUMMARY:🤔 FAFIO Beginner Tech Meetup
DESCRIPTION:FAFIO is a meetup for folks who want to learn new tech skills\, but aren’t sure where to start. Let’s fuck around and figure it out. FAFIO means there is no instructor. Instead we learn by talking and sharing knowledge\, reading info in zines and online\, and hands-on trial and error.
