ABOUT

Community Colleges. Two prior Tecnificates held in the Los Angeles area have drawn hundreds of attendees from hundreds of miles to attend.

Coro is the host of Tu Tecnologia, a Spanish language broadcast TV segment that educates Hispanic families on the latest tech and autos. His tech column is featured in La Opinion and El Diario La Prensa and is syndicated nationally.
