Request a visit from the BBC Big Yellow Bus to try some IT taster sessions and tell your local stories for broadcast.
The Big Yellow Bus, fondly known as the 'Big Yella', travels Northern Ireland to provide access to digital technology and improve computer literacy among adults over 16 years old.
It also takes the BBC into the heart of local communities to gather stories of local interest which may not usually feature on BBC NI programming.
A dedicated team of BBC staff work with Northern Ireland adult education providers to encourage adults to 'have a go' at new technology.
