Mission Statement
The Wamego Technology Center is a dynamic and ever-expanding resource for education providing technology assistance for all ages.
Founding
The
Wamego Technology Center was made possible through a tax credit grant
given by the state of Kansas. The idea behind the center is to provide
the community of Wamego with access to technology while providing an
opportunity for the students of Wamego High School to serve the
community by teaching community members how to use the technology. With
the purchase of iPads and MacBook laptops, students can show community
members how technology can enhance their lives.
Services
The
Wamego Technology Center is available to all people living in and
around the Wamego area. Community members are
welcomed to use the technology equipment such as iPads, laptops and
desktops. Courses are held on a variety of topics. The facility is available for workshop
or meeting space, utilizing the iPads or PC computers as well as the projection screen. Additionally, an Online Learning Lab is available for anyone wishing to complete his/her high school degree through a virtual classroom.
