Technical Practice Sessions typically include targeted skills designated by the leader(s) as well as space for participants to practice their choice of technical skills. 

Technical Practice Sessions are a peer learning environment. No formal training is provided, and participants must have the pre-requisite training to participate. Interested participants can view the pre-requisite skills by clicking on the badges under registration. If you have the pre-requisite skills but not the badges, select "request leader's permission"

Participants are encouraged to bring books or materials to reference.
