The program was such a success this year, that the Jefferson City News tribune published a story regarding the camp.We received a very nice thank you note from the student participants, picture of their group, and recognition award for our involvement; but just knowing that we're able to help bring programs such as CPoD to life is the real joy we get. These programs have a direct impact - shaping potential future IT professionals."Thanks to Neteffects for being a main sponsor of our CPoD camp that allows High School students to gain real experience in web design, video recording, project management, application development, problem solving/critical thinking and Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
