Toying With Technology

K-12 Teacher Information

One goal of Toying with Technology is to be in contact with all pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade schools throughout Iowa. We hope to bring the positive message of excitement for engineering and technology to all young people in Iowa. Our program travels to many schools, and several classes also visit our lab on the ISU campus. Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
