A New Date for nErDcamp Northern New England

We would like to thank the many educators who have been inquiring about nErDcamp NNE registration for 2017. 

In response to survey results from the last two Nerdcamps, we will be moving the next camp to September. Because there was already a NerdcampNNE in 2016, we will be holding the next one in late September of 2017. 

The date and venue will be announced at a later time. We hope you will be able to join us next fall as we continue to bring this day of professional learning to Northern New England! 

A Big Thank You to Our Sponsors!

Our third annual nErDcamp Northern New England was another great day of learning. We have a large committee that organizes the event, but we could not do it without the support of many generous sponsors. From morning coffee and treats, to swag and door prizes, we would like to thank the following sponsors for their support. Please thank these individuals and organizations if you get the chance.
