Student Technology Showcase at MSAD#48

For an impressive event showcasing student work with technology, you won't be disappointed with this yearly extravaganza. I attended a couple of years at the invitation of Kern and Keith Kelley, and I was blown away with the enthusiasm and quality of the work that is being done in this school district.
