| The
Summersville School Technology Club was formed to allow interested students to
explore the world of technology beyond the usual computer classes. The
club meets twice a month and attempts to discover what is new and developing in
the technology world. Students provide discussion topics and projects for
all to consider, discuss and experiment with when the proper hardware and
software is available. The club has been
involved in several fundraisers and has bought several items for the school,
including a Sony digital camera and attendant software to enhance and clarify
digital photography. Other projects have included a mass installation of
computers in the school classrooms, assisting in senior community computer
classes and aiding younger students in the Kindergarten through 3rd Grade lab
and classrooms.
Additional projects are constantly sought to expand the technological horizons
of the interested students.
Current plans include having the Tech Club
members assist in maintaining and updating the school's website (the one you
are looking at) and assist in preparing the monthly district-wide
newsletter.
The club is open to all students in grades 5
through 8 who are interested in technology. Meetings are held on the first
and third Wednesdays of the month during the 8th period. |
