Educational Technology Innovations (ETI) on the University of Minnesota campus hosted our Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) students from Fair, Heritage, North, and Southwest high schools. These students attend Career Technical Education (CTE) Computer Science classes at North Tech Center. They are in various stages of game design, app development, and other innovative projects involving computer programming infrastructure. The students and ETI staff shared their diverse interests in technology, engaging in a mutual learning experience. The ETI team shared how their different interests and indirect paths lead them to careers in the Tech industry. Both the ETI staff and MPS students were impressed by one another and plans for ETI?staff to visit the students at North Tech Center was planned. Although lots of donuts were consumed, the best part of this visit was amazing collaboration!

Today, we want to recognize all the Educational Support Professionals (ESPs) at MPS who help keep our schools running smoothly. Whether you’re an educational assistant, special education assistant, associate educator, bilingual program assistant, child care assistant, family liaison or another Educational Support Professional, your efforts make a difference. Thank you for everything that you do! ?? #NationalESPDay #ThankYouESPs
