Keeneyville Tech Tips
Friday, February 15th
Who is interested in attending TECH 2019 with a small group of students?
TECH 2019 is a one-day event held in the rotunda of the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield allowing legislators, policy makers and other citizens to see first-hand how technology is used in classrooms across Illinois.
K-12 students and teachers representing schools from around the state will demonstrate engaging projects that utilize 3D printers, video, graphic design, robotics, animation and more.
If you are interested or know of a group of students that would enjoy participating, please let me know! We would love to send a group this year! Applications are due by March 8th.
