Many Boys & Girls Clubs of Monmouth County members do not have access to technology outside of the classroom. In order to equip our children with the skills they will need to thrive academically, the Club provides unique learning opportunities to our children in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and math). We recently hired Henri Lee as our Technology Coordinator, and he comes to the Club with a strong background in technology, education, and working with children. He is looking forward to going beyond the basics and teaching the kids about social media, graphic design, 3D printing, and even how to create podcasts.
