They create digital books and websites together. Through videoconferencing, they meet each other face to face. They play games together. They perform for each other. This is a sampling of some of the extraordinary projects we’ve done:. Children’s Home Society Workshops. Kids’ Own in Florida. The Robin Hood Project.
