(INDIANAPOLIS)  The Purdue School of Engineering and Technology hosted its 10th annual Tech Camp for Teachers July 27-30, 2009, on the IUPUI campus from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. Tech Camp offers attendees, primarily K-12 teachers, a chance to learn techniques to more effectively teach the latest software applications, web design and computer programming advances to their students. Approximately 75 teachers from Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin attended this year's camp, and one of those teachers was from Shakamak High School.

"We're so fortunate to have Tech Camp in Indiana. It's an inexpensive way to learn so much about the newest technological developments," says Dena Irwin, a business teacher at Shakamak High School and president of the Indiana Business Education Association.  Irwin, who has attended Tech Camp for the past nine years, says she always leaves feeling revitalized, due in large part to the networking and camaraderie she enjoys with fellow educators throughout the Midwest.
