Welcome to WNCteenspace, offered by Cherokee Preservation Foundation and WNC EdNet to help youth in western North Carolina connect with each other and creatively use technology to make learning a fun experience.  The site features a directory of youth organizations in the region. Soon, WNCteenspace will feature content created by students. Read the list of STAC faculty sponsers we are working with to get student content started, and talk to the one at your school.  The list will grow.
