ALCS Tech Fair Displays the Best of Student Innovation and Imagination

This past February, Alta Loma Christian School hosted its eighth annual Technology Fair—an annual on-campus event during which students showcase an original technology-based project of their choosing. Participation in the ALCS Tech Fair is completely voluntary, and students complete their projects in their personal time.
 
Aside from the emphasis on innovation and creativity, students who participate must also regularly check in with ALCS adult mentors and keep a journal of progress, which exposes students to the processes of collaboration, planning, and reflection.

From coding and graphic design to video production and physical engineering, ALCS students submitted original STEM projects of their liking to showcase their creative talents and mastery of technology-based tools. Classes then signed up in 15-minute blocks to see and interact with each of the Tech Fair entries in the Computer Lab.

And in expected fashion, the school saw ventures into new territory with robotics and ALCS' first submission in Podcast Production, reflecting the wider trends in pop culture.

Awards were given to acknowledge students who stood out in evidencing Courage, Perseverance, Creativity, and Growth, underlying the main purpose of the Tech Fair: to encourage students to be brave by challenging themselves and push the boundaries of their creativity, transforming them from simple 'users' of technology, to Spirit-led creators.

All Tech Fair projects have now been uploaded onto the ALCS school website, and can be seen at ALCS Tech Fair
