Students from Miller Middle School and Hoglan and Woodbury elementary schools all received blue ribbons for their projects presented at the Iowa Technology Education Connection Tech Fair Tuesday, April 12, at Iowa State University.
The 10 Marshalltown students competed at the regional Tech Fair, presenting their work to a panel of local judges. The Tech Fair “offer[s] K-12 students an opportunity to showcase technology-based projects created as part of their instructional curriculum in their schools.”
Students could create projects in seven different categories: multimedia, web presence, programming, video/linear presentation, graphics/publishing, 3-D rendering/non-linear animation, and music/sound design.
To create their Tech Fair entries, students not only had to research the information they presented, but also learn how to use technology and computer programming to create unique presentations.
