We are thrilled to partner with Apple to enhance Club programming with innovative and educational coding activities that will build kids’ and teens’ engagement and opportunity in technology.
In New Jersey, the Boys & Girls Club of Atlantic City opened both a Design Lab as well as a STEAM Lab in the city. The Club will be opening a second STEAM Lab in January.
