Welcome Attendees

Educators have the power to transform the lives of students. To help them grow from learners into leaders. To position them to become tomorrow's innovators. The Microcomputers in Education Conference gives educators the tools they need to help their students become the trail blazers not just of tomorrow, but of today.

Every Spring, MEC brings together teachers, administrators, and technology experts on the Tempe campus of Arizona State University to help them maximize the rich opportunities technology promises. Through hands-on workshops, presentations, exhibitions, and keynote addresses, MEC helps teachers gain the skills and knowledge they need to become innovators in the classroom, to use technology as a vehicle to nurture the social and academic skills students need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
