First STLs Trained at Summer Camp

The first Student Tech Leaders of the NYSSTL program got the year off to a great start in two summer camp sessions in July. Students going into the seventh grade at each NYSSTL middle school were chosen to work with Generation YES and BOCES staff to learn about the NYSSTL program and get ready to recruit more students to the club in the fall.

The STLs learned movie-making, web design, and other technology skills, found out how the GenYES and TechYES programs work, and practiced being mentors and leaders in NYSSTL. Everyone had a great time working together to create GenYES and TechYES projects. All the students successfully completed their TechYES certification and did a wonderful job mentoring and evaluating one another. Great work, STLs!
