Greetings!

We need your help

  

Our computers have been through 4 wonderful years of classes and camp, and we now have a chance to update our entire laptop fleet. 

 

CTWBoston has entered the DELL Mobility Challenge to win $50,000 worth of equipment for innovative and meaningful use of mobile technology. We think we more than qualify, but we need your help in letting DELL know that we do. Between March 11 and March 28 we ask you to go to the DELL Mobility Challenge Site and vote us the best in all categories! 

 

Please note: DELL does require you to register in order to vote,and registering includes you in a sweepstakes to win your own prize! We know your time and privacy are valuable, but we also know that new equipment will add even more value to your child's experience in our programs. In just 7 minutes you can help us make that difference.

 

Here is how to vote.

Oh, the Things You Can Do Around Boston

Steampunk, Form and Function; an Exhibition of Innovation Invention & Gadgetry

Described as "an alternate history where modern technology and Victorian life meet", steampunk is a rich artistic movement. During this exhibit, visitors can check out modern gadgets with an old timey twist, play interactive games, and explore the technological origins of the art form. Visit  The Charles River Museum of Industry & Innovation website for more information.
