On Friday, November 15, 2019, the Nipissing-Parry Sound Catholic District School Board will be hosting the fourth annual Student Summit at St. Joseph-Scollard Hall!
The overall theme for the day will be to foster innovation, creativity and collaboration with a number of sessions being offered. Providing awareness and training on G (Google) Suite for Education will be a primary focus, however, we are also excited to continue our coding and computational thinking journey with sessions on the integration of other technologies such as Scratch, Spheros, Micro:bits and Lego Robotics.
