TECHNOLOGY DAY SHOWCASES AREA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

AND MSU BUSINESS TEACHER-EDUCATION STUDENTS



On Wednesday (Dec. 2) at Minot State University, area high school students will compete during the Department of Business Information Technology’s 12th annual Technology Day. The welcome session, which follows registration, begins at 9 a.m. in the Conference Center, third floor of the Student Center.

“Technology Day is an excellent event to showcase area high school students in their business and technology skills,” said Jan Repnow, instructor of business education. “This event also showcases our business teacher-education students as they plan, organize and manage all aspects of this competition in preparation for their upcoming teaching careers.”

The area high schools select students for competition in accounting, business law, desktop publishing, document production, business principles, spreadsheet applications and Web page design. Every school is eligible to enter one student in each of the seven individual events.

In addition, each school may participate as a group in the presentation-software event. Each team consists of individual-event participants, and they create a presentation using PowerPoint 07 software for a topic provided at the contest. Each school team will show their presentations to participating students and faculty.

The school with the most points for placements in all competitions will receive a traveling trophy. Participating high schools are Des Lacs Burlington, Kenmare, Max, Sawyer, Surrey, TGU Granville and Underwood.

BIT faculty members, business teacher-education students and Phi Beta Lambda members will supervise the competition, which starts at 9:15 a.m. in the Conference Center and Main 314 and 316. The PowerPoint group activity begins at 10:30 a.m. in Main 316 with the school teams giving their presentations at 11:30 a.m. A lunch and awards ceremony is scheduled for 12:30 a.m. in the Conference Center.

In addition to the College of Business’ BIT department, Technology Day sponsors include SRT Communications and Grand International Inn.

For questions about this event, contact Repnow at 858-3325 or jan.repnow@minotstateu.edu.
