An Exciting Change to Our Schedule

Hi NerdcampNNE Community! We want to share an exciting change in our schedule for the 10th NerdcampNNE on September 27th. Our morning will be structured, as it always has been, using the original Edcamp model, where we will have 2 consecutive sessions on topics that are decided upon by campers. Then, after lunch, we will have one 45-minute block with preplanned presentations from amazing local and regional educators. As always, we will end NerdcampNNE with our title talk sessions and door prizes.

We will be announcing the presenters and topics shortly.

Registration is Open for the 10th NerdcampNNE!
