Designing EdCamp Palm Springs

Di junior, Sebastian Vasquez, recently designed the all new EdCamp Palm Springs logo for local technology specialists from PSUSD. 

The design was modeled after the original logo created by Lorenzo Ibarra who is a graduate of Camden County Technical Schools. The EdCamp Foundation encourages the redesign of the original logo to emphasize the local flavor of where the various events are held and boosts a great collection here!. 

EdCamp is a user-generated "unconference", designed to provide participant-driven professional development for K-12 educators around the world.
