This conference is for students in grades 9-12, preferably in Indiana.  All students are welcome from public, private, charter or home high schools and do not need to be enrolled in a computer science class. Per any traditional field trip, students will need administrator approval before registering to attend. If we can help there (or you need specific information), please email navigate@nextech.org.

• Teachers are required to register their students to attend. The registration process is an easy two-step process: 
  • Step 1: Teachers will register their students anytime between October 5 - November 9. 
  • Step 2: Once the registration is complete, Nextech will send the teacher a spreadsheet to fill out, which will include providing the first names, last names and email addresses of their students.
• On Monday, November 16, each student will receive an invitation for Nextech Navigate 2020 in their inbox. It will include a unique “magic link” that the student will need to use to access the conference. We ask that all teachers do a test run for their students between November 16-27 to ensure that students received their invitation for the conference.  

Nextech Navigate will be on Hopin, an awesome online event platform. In order to ensure your student can attend, please have your IT department whitelist the following:  https://support.hopin.to/en/articles/4300282-network-connectivity-settings

It will be a full day, which will elapse the majority of the school day. We will begin at 9 A.M. EST with an opening presentation and keynote.  From there, the day will move into breakout sessions where a student will be able to select the sessions that interest them most.  We will end at 2 P.M. EST after an inspirational closing keynote. There will be a planned break for lunch. 

Students can attend from school, home or anywhere with strong wifi and access to a computer.  Each student will need to attend on their individual device in order to participate in their selected breakouts and will be given an individual invitation.

Nope, it is absolutely free to attend. No cost to the student, teacher or school. 

The content for the day will be tailored for high school students, but teachers will enjoy it as well.  After the event, we will be able to share granular tracking data to each teacher letting you know where and what your students attended.
