In the kickoff Webdroid: Industry Standard workshop, we will be hosting Terrell Howell, the Co-Founder and CEO of Octet Networks! Students will enter the world behind their screens through a fast-paced, interactive introduction to Information Technology. Working in teams students will investigate computer hardware, operating systems, internet connections, networking, cybersecurity, troubleshooting, cloud technology, and technology careers. They will complete hands-on challenges, diagnose common technical problems, follow data as it travels across a network, and compete in a final IT mission. No previous experience is required for participants. Students will leave understanding how major technology systems work together, how IT professionals solve problems, and which technology pathways they may want to explore next.
