Student Displays

What are they?

Student displays consist of one-day "booth-style" displays by students and teachers that demonstrate technology-rich projects or units of study they have experienced in the classroom.

While it is important to share experiences with new technologies, these displays are not intended to promote products and should instead focus on lessons learned with emerging technologies. Presenters are encouraged to keep displays as vendor neutral as possible.

When is the deadline to submit?
