On Friday, February 3, 6 students from Digital Media Arts traveled to Lyndon State College for the 8th annual high school design competition. Students from 5 other technical centers also participated. The students were divided into 10 teams and asked to design a poster for next year’s competition. “This is a great way to learn how to collaborate with other people to create a design.” Click here to see more images from the competition.

BTC Open House Success
October 26 the Barre Technical Center hosted yet another successful open house night! BTC Staff counted over 400 visiters in attendance! We had students from elementary school to high school ages attending, from both public and private schools. Parents, grandparents, neighbors and friends all had fun learning about BTC programs. The turnout was great!
The BTC Bake Shop and Green Room provided refreshments along with snacks, like peanutbutter fudge, cheesecake, and a bunch of different kinds of cookies. Attendees experienced live broadcasts, building demos, piping techniques, blood pressure checks, paraffin wax dips, fantasy make-up, and smoke/carbon-monoxide alarm demonstrations.
That night there was also a raffle to win prizes like gift certificates to restaurants and BTC gear. Tina Grant, Jeremiah Houle, Kate Sprout, Haley Kerrick, and Gregory Wabuh won prizes! And we raised more than $300 for the BTC scholarship fund. Barre Technical Center: Exploring Opportunities and Discovering Talents Click here to see video and pictures from Open House 2011.
