Bermuda will be holding its third annual Techweek at the end of next month.

'Lunch and learns' events will take place, giving people the chance to find out about things like how to use devices, the next generation of the Internet, the responsible disposal of e-waste and recycling.

It will be hosted by the Ministry of Energy, Telecommunications and E-Commerce from April 27 to May 1.

Minister Terry Lister said in a statement: "As the Minister responsible for E-Commerce, I would urge all Bermuda's residents to once again support and participate in the Techweek events. It is sure to be an exciting week."

The Technology Innovation Awards, which celebrate innovative ways businesses and individuals use technology to make a difference in Bermuda everyday, will be held on Friday, May 1.

A cyber security day will also take place, and the Ministry has made a commitment to visit every school on the Island to give presentations on online safety to students and parent groups.
