Three elementary technology teachers from the Great Neck Public Schools presented innovative STEM programs at the 2024 Long Island Technology & Education Summit (LITES), held on Oct. 18.

Great Neck’s presenters included Laura Goldstein, technology teacher and staff developer at John F. Kennedy School, who shared her use of LEGO to teach computational thinking and coding skills; and Adrienne Hoshino and Lisa Malfi, technology teachers and staff developers at E.M. Baker School, who presented together on their 3D printing projects that teach the engineering-design process while also connecting Baker students to the GNPS community.

LITES is the premiere event for educators on Long Island to share new ideas, innovations and trends. This annual conference is co-sponsored by Eastern Suffolk BOCES, Nassau BOCES, and Western Suffolk BOCES together with the New York State Association for Computers and Technologies in Education (NYSCATE).
