Standard Equipment

The dual-monitor stations are equipped to handle digital projects small and large. Take advantage of Adobe products to edit photos and videos, use Audacity or Garageband to create and edit audio, or test out how your project looks on a larger screen. Use the mobile whiteboard to chart ideas, scan materials with the Epson scanner, or use the object photo booth to take more professional photos of small subjects.
