Brown Elementary students traveled to the state capital this month to present at the 22nd annual Student Technology Showcase.
According to a statement from event organizers, students from Brown Elementary School in St. Joseph were among the few in Michigan selected to showcase cutting edge and innovative technology demonstrations to lawmakers at the state Capitol Building.
“The 22nd annual Student Technology Showcase highlighted some of the most talented students in Michigan,” said Mark Smith, MACUL executive director. “Everyone at the Capitol was impressed at how the students are incorporating technology in their learning.”
Students displayed a wide variety of technology projects that blended science, mathematics, social studies and language arts with the latest digital tools. Their work featured app development, artificial intelligence demonstrations, coding, robotics, web design, and many other technology demonstrations.
State Representative Pauline Wendzel was part of the event, being recognized with an “Excellence in Education” award at the showcase for connecting students with innovative technologies.
Presented by the Michigan Association for Computer Users in Learning (MACUL), and underwritten by AT&T, the 2023 Student Technology Showcase featured demonstrations from students representing nearly 30 different schools.
