LETTER OF SUPPORT FROM Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce...
Dear Vermont Department of Education
We have been in conversation with Lucie deLaBruere and George Raynak who have
shared with us their ideas for a project that supports the development of Creativity and
Innovation in Vermont Schools.
We support the concepts expressed in this project proposal and are interested in
supporting the project by working with them on making Tech Jam 2010 the kickoff
venue for this project.
One goal for Tech Jam 2010 is to make the event one that impacts Vermont’s
younger generation in several ways. Increasing the awareness of college and career
opportunities for students interested in the creative and innovative use of technology
within Vermont matches both the goals of Tech Jam and the organizers of this project.
We will continue to work with the project organizers to work out details that will
make Tech Jam an ideal place for the kick off of this project (i.e. space for the project
participants to meet during the day outside the exhibit area to kick off their project)
We see it as an ideal place for students to meet role models that will inspire them to
participate in the Creativity and Innovation Challenges that will be offered throughout the
year.
Sincerely,
Lake Champlain REgional Chamber of Commerce
