SW Ohio College Tech Prep Showcase @ UC Clermont

On Thursday, April 19, 2007, close to 200 area high school students came to our campus to participate in a competition know as the Southwest Ohio College Tech Prep Showcase. The day started early with the arrival of the teams via bus, van, truck and car. Each vehicle was stuffed with display boards, projection screens, computers, projectors and of course, students! Each team was assigned to a table area in the Student Activity Center where they set up their projects.

Judges were members of local industry and professors from College Tech Prep partner schools. After each team presented their project, the scores were totalled and awards were given. The 1st and 2nd place teams will now move to the final round of competition before heading to the State of Ohio championships.

You can see the results at: http://www.techprepswohio.org/programs_showcase_regional.shtml

I was really impressed by the teams and their projects. I'm confident that a few of these projects would be very profitable if made available for sale.
