Springfield – Senator Radogno met with several students from Hickory Creek Middle School in Frankfort, IL during the annual TECH 2010 day at the State Capitol. The students showed Sen. Radogno their project; they created a tour company’s Web site using PowerPoint and multi-media resources.

TECH 2010 is a not-for-profit initiative created to increase awareness of the importance of technology in Illinois schools, and show the need for increased funding for classroom technology.

Schools from all over the state are invited to send a team to the Statehouse, selected on the basis of geography, grade level, type of demonstration and the ability level of the students. This year almost 100 schools gathered in the Capitol to present their demonstrations to elected officials, business leaders and the general public.
