    Susan Wynn: Taste of Technology: Providing Students with a Recipe and Key Ingredients for Success    
   


Susan Wynn from Kankakee Community College served a hands-on happening that appealed to the appetites of the Conference participants. She described a Tech Prep event designed for students to explore their interests in technology. They examine a recipe for success along with some key ingredients to a productive career. Wynn has presented this Taste of Technology each of the past three years to potential students at Kankakee Community College. The event is intended to assist students that are undecided regarding their career choices and to aid them in exploring educational avenues to continue their education as they search for a successful future.

The Taste includes focused exploration provided by instructors from the various occupational areas who are skilled and have specialized knowledge. Students appreciate the exposure to specialists in their exploration of potential careers. The students also indicated their enthusiasm for the interacting aspect of the Taste.

The conference participants expressed appreciation for the hands on successful practice.
