The robotics team from St. Anthony Catholic School participated in the International Society for Educational Technology conference in Denver, Colorado, from June 23 to 26, marking another important milestone for the Guam school’s young innovators.
The event brought together educators, leaders, and students from around the world to explore the latest advancements in education technology and innovation.
St. Anthony Catholic School’s middle school robotics team participated in numerous activities and workshops aimed at inspiring and educating, the school announced in a press release.
The conference provided students with a valuable opportunity to gain exposure to cutting-edge technology, collaborate with peers from diverse backgrounds, and gain insights from industry leaders.
One of the highlights of the conference was the Expo Hall, where students had the opportunity to experience a variety of technological innovations and interact with exhibitors showcasing the latest educational tools and resources.
Outside the expo hall, the team attended a variety of sessions covering a wide range of topics, from coding and robotics to digital citizenship and innovative teaching methods.
These sessions not only broadened my understanding of the technology landscape but also inspired me to think creatively and critically about how I can apply these concepts to my own projects and future careers.
“We returned home with hearts full of gratitude and emotion. The ISTE conference not only equipped our students with new skills and knowledge, but also instilled a sense of purpose and determination to make a positive impact through technology,” Mylen Combs, St. Anthony Catholic School’s robotics team advisor, said in a statement.
Combs said the robotics team looks forward to applying what they learned and continuing their mission of promoting science, technology, engineering, math and STEM education within the community.
“Thank you again to everyone who has supported us on this incredible journey, and we are excited to share our experiences and newfound knowledge with our school and the local community,” Combs said. “We are confident this is just the beginning of many accomplishments to come.”
