The Grand Carousel

Each year, one of the final sessions of the February Conference is the Grand Carousel.  Unlike the more intensive sessions of the conference, the carousel “round tables” offer a quick sampling of varied topics.  During this session, conference participants have the opportunity to choose and attend four sessions of interest.  Round table sessions of the past have included, digital photography, robotics, flight simulators, GPS navigation, cooking, and several varied presentations by professionals in the field of Career Technology Education.  We hope to see you at the Grand Carousel.  You’re sure to find something of interest.
