Congratulations to our Senior Tech Triber, Hannah! She has just won the Rising Star Award from NCWiT, becoming one of only 44 women in Indiana and one of just 400 women in the US! A special shoutout to @JulieDinn1 for encouraging Hannah's passion for tech!

Exciting times! We are currently deploying three grade levels of new Chromebooks for our next year's 1st, 5th, and 9th grade students! Unboxing, labeling, enrolling, updating, and repeating. #keepimproving #BravePride

For the first time in Tech Tribe history, Parker, one of our hardware leaders, successfully soldered a new audio jack onto the motherboard of a 1:1 Google Chromebook. This saved us from paying a third party or doing a motherboard swap, saving approximately $220! #hireyourstudents

We are proud to present the Golden Tomahawk award to our 1st semester, 4th-period class! These four students demonstrated a can-do attitude, were proactive, performed 1:1 repairs, deployed a Board Room streaming solution, and completed Helpdesk tickets. Great job!

Shoutout to our intern Jameson! He is a @MaconaquahBrave grad and recently graduated from @IUIndianapolis in IT. He is volunteering until he lands his first IT job! Getting real-world experience. Upgrading staff to W11 and turning old Windows laptops into Chromebooks.

Some of our best repair students putting in the work today! #hireyourstudents

Shoutout to Brent and Jeremy our Maconaquah Techs to lead this initiative!.

We’re so excited to see our very first @MaconaquahHS Esports team in action! Huge thanks to @IndianaGEARUP for making our amazing Esports computer lab possible! 🎮

Day Two of #hecc2024! Learning all things E-Rate with AdTec this morning. Always important to get away and ensure your ship is on course! #keepimproving

Meet Parker, he was able to research and successfully get this Theater Dept. desktop back up and running! Spent hours finding a solution to apply new thermal paste to prevent overheating and fix a corrupted BIOS firmware. #hireyourstudents #FutureLeaders

We are learning all things @ClassVR headsets today! We are seeing great possibilities and ways to enrich the learning experience for our students! Shoutout to @EducateIN for the 2024 Digital Learning Grant to purchase these! #keepimproving

One of my favorite times of the year, when Justin Byrd comes back to Maconaquah to catch up, talk EdTech and future E-Rate projects, and assist with Skyward Online Registration! Stay networked! #bravepride

Busy today fixing, cleaning, and updating to Chrome version 124 for our high school 1:1 Chromebooks! We are going to be ready for another school year! Julyssa and Jameson are volunteering/interning this summer to get experience and see the behind-the-scenes of 1:1.

Drum roll, please! The Golden Tomahawk Award goes to our 7th-period class! These eight students were on time, reliable, hard-working, proactive, and fixed a lot of 1:1 Chromebooks. #hireyourstudents #FutureLeaders
