The Learning Technologies Center supports learning through creative and meaningful applications of digital technologies. Classes and workshops allow learners to be creative designers; using technologies that include miniature computers, motors, sensors, animation and game-making software, and digital media tools. A range of professional development workshops for teachers and enrichment classes for students are available. Programs can also be custom designed to meet the interests and needs of you and your classroom. For more information please call (651) 221-4513.
