A group of teachers and administrators spent the past 3 days in Boise at the annual IETA conference. They spent their days in a variety of sessions learning about new technology tools and other ideas and visited with vendors. On Friday afternoon our own Nathan Lammers and Myriah Leischer presented on Engineering Design for K-8 students. They cannot wait to come back and share what they have learned with their students and staff.
Congrats to our students of the month, and thanks to Tres Hermanos for helping us celebrate!
