3 new cool tech activities for Brooklyn kids

Brooklyn is creating a pipeline for technology talent, whether or not that pipeline leads straight into specific IT businesses.

Here are three new opportunities for elementary and middle school age students to see computers and technology as more than a platform for video games and homework.

Local food delivery platform Good Eggs wants to give Middle School and Elementary School tours of their Bed-Stuy food hub.

Teachers with classes they would like to take the tour should call the Good Eggs Brooklyn office at 347-382-9900.

If you have any doubt that the space is worth seeing, check out the photos we took when we visited. Also, seems like a very safe bet that the classes that visit will get some excellent snacking samples when and if they go.
