Future Ready Project Showcase Features Innovative Projects
On Thursday, January 30th, innovative instructional projects were on display as part of the third annual Ken-Ton School District Future Ready Project Showcase.
The event featured 13 teachers who spent weeks developing new instructional activities incorporating technology, engineering, or computer science topics that can be replicated in elementary/middle school classrooms everywhere in order to inspire students to become “future ready.”
The program was supported by the NYS Education Department Smart Start Program and led by our Director of K-12 Education Anne Martell, who coordinated the initiative, as well as our Instructional Support Specialists for Technology, who provided programming support in the classroom.
