Last Wednesday, a kickoff event was held at IU29 with the Schuylkill County Superintendents for a newly created conference room and innovation center called “The Hub”.
IU29 Executive Director Gregory Koons says the idea was spearheaded by the IU29 Leadership Team as a resource for the member school districts and community members.
“The Hub is a centralized think tank promoting the new IU29 tagline of ‘Specializing in Educational Solutions for Lifelong Learners!’”, said Koons
“The vision is for teams of educational leaders to utilize the space to brainstorm, create, and launch district leadership efforts for the benefit of students within Schuylkill County and beyond.”
The conference space features five learning stations with wall mounted monitors and an interactive 86-inch touchscreen at the front of the room for presenting and sharing electronic media.
The second-floor room, originally utilized for technology storage, was renovated over the past six months with painting of walls, new lighting, buffed floors, and new countertops.
