Check it out! We came together for an excellent day of learning and community building in order to disrupt inequities in our education system.

Thank you, participants!

Edcamp is only as great as the participants that come. We wanted to give a BIG shout out to everyone who gave up their Saturday morning to participate in Edcamp Equity.
