The group of 10 educators visited Finland from October 17-21 to attend an Innovation Camp and study Finland's education system. They visited several schools that demonstrated Finland's focus on STEM education, special needs support, and after school programs. The educators learned about the role of technology in teaching from school principals and were given a mobile learning workshop. The program concluded with certificates and a dinner, and the educators were invited to participate in a future trip to further explore the "Finland Phenomenon".
