Manual High School students set up lab As part of their A+ computer technician class, Nina Amey's KidsTek class assembled a computer lab at Manual High School. The lab is almost fully functional and will be available for school-wide use soon. KidsTek high school classes are designed to provide college and career skills such as project management and hardware and software certifications.
KidsTek students prepare to Tech It Out Four KidsTek students received scholarships to attend the award-winning Rocky Mountain Tech It Out event on November 11. The Rocky Mountain chapter of Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT) and Communications Technology Professionals (CTP) partnered to host the event that highlights "women technology in an interactive, creative forum."

Student of the Month Starting in September 2011, KidsTek will honor an outstanding student. Congratulations to our first ever award-winner, Wendy Noriega!
Wendy first became acquainted with KidsTek when she was a freshman at Aurora Central High. She was a committed student in our after school program two years ago, and we invited her at the time to participate at our table at a local technology event: Colorado Technology Association's DemoGALA. Wendy was so confident speaking to event participants that they often mistook her for a KidsTek staff member. Now, as a proud Junior at Central High, Wendy is enrolled in our technology elective, Cisco CCNA Discovery. Wendy is one of the top students in the class and we're very proud that she has continued with KidsTek!
