The MLTI Student Conference is a unique technology experience developed exclusively for students at MLTI schools. Since MLTI's beginning in 2001 this conference has been providing students with their own conference where they can engage in authentic, relevant, technology-rich, learning experiences that prepare them for a fulfilling future. Starting in 2020, MLTI has offered a virtual Student Conference and now we offer two events annually. The 2024 virtual conference, the Maine Winter Classic, occurred last month and brought together approximately 5,000 participants from schools in every county across the state.

Submit a session proposal!

The Maine DOE is issuing a call for session proposals for the in-person student conference on May 23rd, 2024 at the University of Maine at Orono.

Conference Theme: #CampMLTI - This year's conference is using a fun summer camp and camping-based theme. We love to have sessions that are tailored to the theme, but it's not a requirement. There are endless possibilities for session topics. Technology-focused is essential; from traditional use of tech to unplugged, it's all on the table.

Sessions should be "platform agnostic" (not device specific) and feature only free apps and tools that are accessible to all, and appropriate for 5ththrough 10thgrade MLTI students. If you have concerns or questions about these requirements, please contact the Maine DOE Learning Through Technology team at [email protected].

Sessions can be led entirely by educators or students co-led with educators. We will also consider educational organization, higher ed, and other education stakeholder proposals.

Sessions are blocked for 90 minutes and should actively engage students in exploration, creation, and collaboration through technology and/or computer science. Presenters should plan to deliver their session twice, unless their schedule needs prohibit this.

We hope you'll consider submitting a session proposal and join us. To submit a session proposal, please complete this form.
