Welcome, Students!

We are happy to have you here at City Tech and in our City Tech 101 workshop!

Your Profile for this Course and Others

Remember that your username and display name can be pseudonyms, rather than your real name. However, make sure your teacher, peer mentor, and classmates can make a connection to the name you use in class and that which is on the OpenLab.

Your avatar does not need to be a picture of your face–just something that identifies you on the OpenLab.

Questions

If you have any questions, please reach out to Prof. DeCoux at jdecoux@citytech.cuny.edu. If you need help with the OpenLab, you can consult OpenLab Help or contact the OpenLab Community Team.
