About
Tech Wars 2012
Defining STEM Curriculum in Public Education
Genesee Community College Tech Wars is a competition for high school and
middle school technology students in the GLOW region. Tech Wars was first
started in 2008 and has grown greatly every year since. Since this is only our
fourth annual event, we are still only allowing GLOW Region County schools
(Genesee, Livingston, Orleans and Wyoming) to participate. Hopefully this
great experience for students will continue for years to come.
Our goal in hosting this event is to allow students to take what they learn in the
Technology classrooms and compete in a hands-on educational yet fun program. (specific
events are listed on the contest rules page.) Hopefully the interest in this competition will
help to boost enrollments of technology classes because what is learned there can be
transferred to the world of home and work almost on a daily basis. Ultimately the
imagination of some students may go beyond the classroom where they develop such a
deep interest in Technology that they make a career of it. Some day those students may
come back as a teacher or mentor of the technology students of the future.
