TSI Presentation

On Tuesday, December 3rd, Amina Patel, Michael Becker, Michael Vaiana, Miroslav, and I went on a field trip with Ms. Martire to two middle schools to talk to eighth graders about TSI and other Business Education Classes.

River Grove Middle School Presentation

The first middle school we attended was River Grove. Above you can see a picture of Miro, Amina, Michael, and Mike asking the students if they have any questions about the presentation. The following middle school we went to was Hester Junior High. 

Our presentation started off with how quickly technology advances and changes within just a couple years. It's incredible how quickly it goes. We then brought up the topic of Chromebooks. This was a very important aspect because they are eighth graders who will be attending Leyden the following year. We also talked about the basics of TSI. We informed them on what we do, how to get enrolled in the class, the cool technology we get to use, and how important we are when it comes to the Chromebooks. 

Not only did we brag about how awesome TSI is, but we also thoroughly explained the other options they have in the Business Ed department at Leyden. 

At the end, we allowed them to ask us any questions and if their questions were good, they got prizes! Those hands started going up when they saw them! We also took some devices with us such as the Mac, Surface, Windows, and a Chromebook so they can see and play around with them for a little.

You might be wondering if we got hungry throughout the day. You bet we did! In between our trip from River Grove to Hester, we stopped by IHOP (International House of Pancakes) for lunch! It's all about the free food. #leydenpride #leydenhungry

Overall, the trip went well. We all had a good time, got to get out of school, and of course, you can't forget about the free food. We hoped the eighth graders enjoyed our presentation and are excited to coming to Leyden next year!
