Cypress-Fairbanks ISD Instructional Technology is thrilled to once again host our annual student technology festival! In its sixth year, this event promises to be even bigger and better, with more students sharing their creativity and talents in all content, levels, and future career paths.

Technology Festival 2015: Inspiring Connections will be held on April 30, 2015 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Berry Center (8877 Barker Cypress). 

If you have never been to the Technology Festival (or even if you have), you must come see the excitement! From Kindergarten to high school, students will be presenting to their families, their teachers, our board members and administrators, and community visitors. Our Cy-Fair kids are preparing for their future by using 21st Century tools to enhance their learning.

Based on high school campus feeder patterns, parents and students will have a vertical look at technology use from Kindergarten through grade 12. Each campus will have a booth where students will present technology-infused products and demonstrations. Learn about tablet technology, web 2.0 tools, collaboration tools, and interactive whiteboard activities from students of all ages. Begin your journey at any level and visit any or all (if you have time!) of the “zones” in the district. School-sponsored robotics clubs from middle and high schools will also be represented, sharing their programming and creative skills.

Experience the high-tech world of our high schools’ Career and Technical Education areas. See students in action as they demonstrate the use of industrial technologies including VEX robotics, laser engraving, 3D printing, automotive technology, special projects such as NASA HUNCH, and much more. Students will share their incredible talents in digital technologies such as animation, web design, and graphic design. Learn about networking, programming, and future computer technologies from our expert computer science students. In addition, we will have interactive video conference events and our very own Technology Festival Roving Reporters, who will be broadcasting live interviews throughout the Berry Center and via online video streaming.

We encourage you to attend this exciting showcase and visit with our talented CFISD students! They will be eager to share their knowledge and skills, explaining their process for infusing technology throughout their journey of collaborating, creating, and learning.
