Teams from neighborhoods or communities wanting to work together are welcome & encouraged.

Join us on March 18th and 19th, if you are:
* Tired of dealing with a painfully slow internet connection, or no access at all
* Are concerned that your children don't have the same tools for learning that are available to families in more urban areas
