Makayla Cummings from West Ashley HS,  and Jonashia Varns and Areial Horlback, both from Garrett Academy assisted with a “Silly Photo Booth” at the event.

Former CCSD summer intern Stephen Maddy from West Ashley HS led the student tech support team – Bryce Washington from St. Johns HS, Mostafa Mongy from West Ashley HS, and Derek Hastings from Wando HS were available to troubleshoot hardware issues and ensure all conference participants found their sessions.

Stephen Maddy also participated in the “Demo Slam”, a 3 minute speech on best practices for event attendees  – he spoke to 300+ educators on the student run IT HelpDesk at his school and how it helped him land an apprenticeship with the City of Charleston IT Department including dual credit classes at Trident Tech!
