Promoting Global Education Through Innovation Starts Locally

As a resident and local business owner, Dawn Whalen of COMPUTER EXPLORERS, was the featured business at the New Hartford Business Council booth at the New Hartford Farmer's Market. As a way to show off what her business has to offer to the dozens of New Hartford residents and visitors from neighboring towns who come to the market to buy, COMPUTER EXPLORERS had a unique opportunity to show what our programs are all about. By promoting our technology education programs for children and adults locally, Dawn hopes to offer an opportunity to give a more global recognition to her COMPUTER EXPLORERS franchise.

Dawn doesn't underestimate the power of a child's smile when giving her own children the task of promoting her business

...a little candy doesn't hurt either!!
