Welcome!

Welcome to the Pittsburgh Kids + Creativity Ning site. This is meant to be a virtual meeting ground for anyone interested in using technology to inspire learning and creative play. The Grable Foundation began to host a semi-regular meeting to bring together the many individuals and organizations working in this area. The goal for these meetings (and this space) is to enhance collaboration among individuals and spur creativity. This site is the virtual extension of these meetings.
