A question I get asked pretty often is where to find groups and events related to technology in areas such as robotics, programming or getting better at social media.

There are a few options, the most extensive of which is probably meetup.com, where any group can set up a page and post regular meetings and events. The homepage of meetup.com has a search box where you can find groups or events within a set range of miles of any city or ZIP code.

Eventbrite, a tool to organize events, also can be used to find groups through their meetings and events. Visit eventbrite.com/directory to search by category, event type, date or price. Using a map, you can set the geographic range you want to search.

Students at Carver Early College School of Technology attend the school’s art class on Wednesday, Dec. 10, 2025. Atlanta Public Schools plans to convert the campus to a school of the arts that will serve grades 6-12. The plan depends on voters extending a one-cent sales tax for education. (Natrice Miller/AJC)
