Students from Bloomington Junior High School explain their project to Senator Bill Brady during TECH 2010, a demonstration of school technology May 6 in the State Capitol.

TECH 2010 is designed to show state leaders what skills will be needed for the Illinois work force and how technology can improve teaching and learning.
