More than 30 area high school students are immersing themselves in modern technology at the second annual Technology Camp presented by The University of Toledo College of Business and Innovation.

The camp, which continues through Friday, July 20, has participants learning about modern business applications of technology on campus 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. for three days.

** MEDIA OPPORTUNITY **
Today until 3 p.m. the students will be working on website and app development in room 1100 of the Savage and Associates Complex for Business and Learning Engagement.

“Social media is essential to teenagers today, but we also want to show local high school students the technology behind applications like Facebook, Twitter and smartphones,” noted Dr. Seth Powless, department of information operations and technologymanagement.

“COBI’s Technology Camp is a wonderful opportunity for students to discover, in a very hands-on way, both the power and the fun of information technology (IT). We know that some of the students will become so enthralled by this experience that theywill decide to study IT.”
