Like any professional conference, presenters and audience members will discuss current projects and developments. Unlike other conferences, hundreds of participants, including Fernbrook students will gather and connect simultaneously from all over the world using advanced networks, from universities, K-12 schools, and organizations to share thoughts and greetings. This year's theme -- Breaking Down the Barriers: Global Connections-- focuses on improving understanding between individuals and cultures, using video conferencing tools.
Fernbrook Elementary is the only elementary school in Minnesota to connect directly to this world wide event.
