Greetings!
2011 isn't just a New Year, it's also the 5-year anniversary of CTWorkshop Boston! And as a special birthday present to ourselves, we made a brand-new website that you can now visit at www.icampMA.com. While www.ctworkshop.com gives a great overview of Children's Technology Workshop as a whole, www.icampMA.com is designed to provide information about Boston-specific programs, making it easier for you to find class schedules, program descriptions, staff information, location maps, project videos, and more.   

Like any 5 year old we're still learning, and we're grateful for your feedback, suggestions, and support to help us

continue to grow.

   

Leonid Tunik, Regional Director.
