Thank you to everyone who joined us, shared ideas, and helped us kick off this exciting new partnership. We’re looking forward to bringing even more technology programs and opportunities to the COA this fall! 💻📱

A special thank-you to our Technology Instructor, Maria Heffernan, and our new instructors for helping make these programs possible.
