The annual Tech Wars event brings middle and high school students from all 24 of the Genesee, Livingston, Orleans and Wyoming (GLOW) region\u2019s school districts together in teams to work collaboratively to demonstrate their technical expertise through innovative, mind-expanding competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year, with a forward vision and new developments in technology, Tech Wars introduces new events. 2022 is no different. This year\u2019s competitors (students) have chosen from close to 30 available competitions to showcase \u2013 and put to the test \u2013 some basic and some extremely intricate and innovative technology. Regardless of the event, all of the students enjoy the opportunity to see their hard work come to fruition. Tech Wars event details, rules and competition descriptions are available at techwarsgccny.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the second year, Tech Wars also features STEAM Jam @ Tech Wars, an event held simultaneously for 3rd to 5th grade students from GLOW region schools. Over 100 students will participate in various team building and mind-stimulating activities that foster skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEAM). As an educational precursor to a future in technology, STEAM Jam participants will have the opportunity to observe the fun and exciting Tech Wars 2022 competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Educational support for Tech Wars and STEAM Jam comes from the dedication, state-of-the art facilities and quality instruction in the GLOW region schools. Teachers share ideas and explore new technology and developments through both a Regional STEAM Teachers\u2019 cohort and a Regional Tech Teachers\u2019 Cohort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focused on local economic development, the newly established Regional Tech Teachers\u2019 Cohort collaboratively cultivates relationships between the schools and local professionals to provide information sessions, field trips, school to work opportunities, and more to enhance student learning experiences. Through these experiences and relationships students begin to form goals and a vision for their own futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The efforts of programs like Tech Wars, STEAM Jam and the Cohorts are already making a difference with many thanks to community support. Tech Wars 2022 has been continually supported and presented with a record number of sponsors. Gold Sponsors: GCEDC\/Glow with Your Hands, Liberty Pumps, Northeast Industrial Tech Inc., Turnbull Heating & Air Conditioning, Graham Corporation, Amada Tool America Inc., and I.B.E.W. Local Union 86 . Silver and Bronze Sponsors: LandPro Equipment, Oxbo International, Takeform, L&M Specialty Fabricating LLC, DWB Enterprises and the Varysburg Lions Club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe support of local businesses and organizations in this region is second to none,\u201d said Ann Valento, ACE program specialist. \u201cWithout these organizations and other generous local donors, Tech Wars would not be possible. Our local sponsors also serve as volunteers, judges, and spend their valuable time talking with students and inspiring entrepreneurial spirit. In addition, the businesses that participate in these events get an exclusive opportunity to meet and network with the future workforce in our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tech Wars is also proudly sponsored and hosted by Genesee Community College and its ACE (Accelerated College Enrollment) program. The ACE team and the entire GCC community work diligently to provide a safe and appropriately-equipped environment to showcase the students\u2019 technological skills and creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tech Wars is among several dynamic programs giving students the opportunity to learn hands-on, often in business settings and with industry professionals. The ACE Program\u2019s Career Pathways is committed to helping students explore career options and make a smooth transition from high school to further education and\/or a career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
