The Don Ryan Center for Innovation will be hosting the first-ever “Tech Fest” on May 18th. The event, which is free and open to the public, will provide the community with an unprecedented look at the innovative teaching techniques happening today at local schools … and will gather the region’s innovators for an evening celebrating technology in the classroom — and beyond.
“Tech Fest” will take place on Thursday, May 18th from 5 p.m. until 7 p.m. It will be held outdoors at the Don Ryan Center for Innovation’s temporary headquarters, located in Buckwalter Place, adjacent to the Bluffton Police Department. The event will gather educators, and student innovators from the area’s schools, with presentations and demonstrations from Bluffton Elementary, McCracken Middle School, Cross Schools, River Ridge Academy, Bluffton High School and May River High School.
The event will feature students and their teachers showcasing the state-of-the-art technology and innovative teaching techniques being utilized in today’s classrooms and will give students the opportunity to present their groundbreaking projects. Attendees can expect to demo coding, robotics, and animation. Attendees will also have the opportunity to sample food from favorite food trucks It’s Only Fair, Downtown Curbside Kitchen and Joe Loves Lobster Rolls.
