Tory Belleci, who works on the Discovery Channel’s “MythBusters,” will deliver the opening keynote session in which he will focus on engaging students in science and technology.
Kim Komando will deliver Thursday’s keynote address. Kim has built a media legacy driven by her passion for “all things digital.” She does a Digital Minute radio feature five days a week and has written 10 books about life in the digital age.
In a small shed behind a community homeless shelter, Stacey Bess taught kindergarten through sixth grade to children with no homes and little hope, an experience that effected a profound change in the teacher as well as her students. Bess, who delivers the closing keynote, discovered that by teaching and modeling love, self-worth, personal power, and courage she could reach children who had previously been labeled “unteachable.”
