When completed, it will be a community hub in Crown Heights, offering recreational facilities and educational opportunities, including Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) instruction by the nonprofit group Digital Girl.
“This will be our home base. It will have our technology center. We’ll have a lab,” says Digital Girls Inc Board President Toni Robinson.
