Last year you were able to see the New Richard S. Shineman Center and tour Park hall under construction. This year you will see the completely renovated Park Hall with new learning spaces and fully equipped technical laboratories, some of which include:

  • Communication Systems and Media Production
  • Design Studio
  • Electronics and Mechatronics
  • Energy, Power and Transportation Systems
  • Laboratory Instructional Methods and Professional Studies
  • Technical Drawing and Engineering Graphics
  • Technical Computing Resources

Many of the conference presentations will be in Park hall and the commercial vendors will be in the spacious connector between Wilber and Shineman! The School of Education entrance between Wilber and Park Halls is a sight to behold! Curriculum and laboratories have changed, and we are greatly looking forward to you exploring these spaces!

2014 Great Presentation Topics

Jim Flowers presents on rapid prototyping

The Technology Fall Conference always has a variety of topic presentations and hands-on double-session workshops. Here is a great presentation topic and abstract that just came in this week:

Experimenting with Rapid Prototyping and Something Called Custom Intersections
Sure, 3D printers and laser cutters can make product prototypes, but they can also help students engage in original experimentation. See how students and teachers take an experimental approach and push the limits of the hardware. A special project called custom intersections will also be demonstrated, with free models given to the first 60 attendees.

Here are just a few of the topics that you will see when you visit the conference this year:

  • Wind Turbines meet the Grid (double session workshop)
  • Introduction to Biomedical Engineering
  • Junior Solar Sprint Makes STEM Fun
  • The Next Wave of 3D Printing & Advanced Manufacturing
  • High School Robotics for College Credit
  • Connecting, Collaborating, Critical Thinking, Creating, and Curating – Creating a STEM Community
  • Want Your Title in the Program – we are still accepting presentation proposals.

The conference is a friendly place to present and accepts a wide range of topics related to technology, engineering, and STEM education. The Technology Conference Program routinely has 50+ topics, which can be viewed in our program archive.

VEX, VEX, and more VEX

Posted on by

If you have been considering getting started with VEX robotics, then you NEED to attend the Fall Conference this year! We will have several presentations to show you how to get started. We will have hands-on workshops where you can build and program with the VEX platform.  We will have VEX vendors that can answer questions about products. We will even be hosting an official high school and college VEX Competition – so you can even bring your whole team if you already participate in VEX!
