BPS Youth Leadership Conference - Call for Workshop Presenters
TechBoston is recruiting students to present workshops at an exciting BPS Youth Leadership Conference that is being planned by students at TechBoston Academy . The event will feature innovative students who are using technology as a tool for creative expression. Entitled, Fierce Expression Through Technology , the conference will be held on Friday, May 2nd at the Boston Convention Center and will be comprised of workshops led by students from any of the Boston Public high schools. We are seeking your help in identifying students in your school might be interested in leading a 45 minute workshop to showcase their creative use of technology. Students can apply to conduct a workshop on anything they do well including digital storytelling, podcasting, graphic design, entrepreneurship, video or audio production, programming, etc. The students are required to have a teacher or staff member at their school serve as their *coach* but the workshop must be facilitated by students. A recruitment flyer and the workshop proposal application accompany this message. The deadline for students to submit the workshop applications is Friday, February 29th. On Feb. 21st and 22nd - during the vacation week – the TechBoston department will provide drop-in support for students who want help developing an idea for a workshop and filling out the application. Once a workshop application has been approved and accepted, the student presenters will be required to attend a training at Madison Park HS during the April vacation week (April 24th and 25th) to finalize and get help in preparing their presentation.
