Kern Tech Fest 2015 was held on Saturday, October 10, 2015 at CSU Bakersfield from 8:00am- 3:00pm. The Tech Fest is an annual conference held in Bakersfield and hosted by the KernCUE Board of Directors. Over 150 educators from Kern County school districts come to experience an epic keynote speaker, incredible breakout sessions on technology used in the classroom, a Panera catered lunch, and unbelieveable raffle prizes!
We are trying to tell all districts and teachers in Kern County about this inexpensive, local EdTech event to engage teachers with meaningful professional development.
