EdCampBoro is This Saturday!
We are SOLD OUT of tickets, but you may still request a ticket through the Wait List!
Calling all educators!
We would like to formally invite you to participate in EdCampBoro!
All EdCamps are a participant-driven "unconference" that provide a unique professional development opportunity for educators. It's completely free to attend, and highly engaging! All topics and conversations are entirely organic and determined that day.
