In partnership with Massachusetts Telecommunications Council, UMass Boston welcomed seventeen high school students and four teachers from the Greater Boston area to Camp Telecom 2000 on July 10. Students and teachers will spend three weeks learning the technology behind telecommunications and web design.
Teachers come here to learn new skills to bring back to the classroom.
Our goal is to use the blueprint developed by UMass Boston and expand the program statewide. Program collaborators include the Northeast Center for Telecommunications Technology and the Metropolitan School to Career Partnership. Program sponsors such as Alpha Industries, Bell Atlantic, Campaq, Fidelity Ventures, RCN, and Sun Microsystems contribute tuition assistance for students.
