KET at STLP State Championship

STLPKET attended the 2009 Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) State Championship on May 21 at Rupp Arena in Lexington. Students from all over Kentucky demonstrated how they use technology in their classrooms and communities.

KET Education Consultants offered a workshop for student media-makers and previewed Scale City, KET's new online middle grades math resource, available fall 2009. In the photo above, KET's Kelli Burton and an STLP student work with a Scale City interactive at the KET booth. Congratulations to all STLP participants!
