ITeam and Our Trip to New York City

The iTeam had the wonderful opportunity to go to NYC to attend a class at Apple Store, go to the Sony Tech Lab and gather a sense of a city environment.  Thanks to the Educational Foundation for the funding.  A very special thanks to the chaperones and especially Ms L. for organizing. 
Here is a video of our experience!  WOW!

The iTeam in NYC

We had the wonderful opportunity to take the current and next year's iTeams to New York City.  We went to the Sony Tech Center and took a class at the Apple Store.  Kids walked through Central Park and enjoyed the buzz and hustle of a metropolitan area.  Some had never been there before. Oh, yes, a trip to FAO Swartz was in order as well. The kids were great!  Made us all very proud. A great way to cap off a wonderful year of exploring technology. Thanks to the Educational Foundation for the funding and to the great teachers that encouraged our learners throughout the year!
