What is PAPS TechFest?
Perth Amboy Public Schools TechFest is an UNconference led by educators that encourages participant-driven discussions related to technology in an informal manner. There are many benefits to attending TechFest including: free attendance, flexible agendas, group brainstorming sessions, networking opportunities, and much more! The rule of the UNconference is to "vote with your feet". If a session doesn't meet your needs, simply get up and move on to another room.
