Westwood’s technology team will be starting a student tech program this year called Warrior Tech.

The program aims to get high school students more digitally literate while giving them a chance to solve real problems. Students will tap into their areas of expertise while under the guidance of the ITS staff in order to help solve campus (and, perhaps, district) issues and needs. Students will broadcast a tech help site and show to help fellow students and teachers. Members of the Warrior Tech Staff will also be part of the inaugural Student Professional Development task force, providing hands-on training for educators.  Members will also be encouraged to volunteer and mentor elementary and middle school students interested in tech-related fields.

“Warrior tech leaders will make changes to the Westwood culture,” Instructional Technology Specialist Christy Fennewald said. It’s a great opportunity for students wanting to teach, learn, and make a difference in Westwood classrooms, especially in the area of technology.”

Warrior Tech is accepting applications now through Sept. 9. Applications can be found here: http://goo.gl/gEKp4I
