NIST Tech has its humble origins from two inspired IB Computer Science students who wanted to share their love for technology with the NIST Community. It has since grown to include more than 15 members, who are able to select and suggest new ideas through an innovative project-based system. Currently, the group operates two main projects: NIST Tech Certification Program, and the weekly Tech Tips T
uesday. Both are designed to further students’ technological knowledge, with the former permitting students to gain additional expertise with technology at NIST, and the latter informing on the various tips and tricks that the greater NIST community can use to interact with their computers more effectively. NIST Tech further hopes to promote and host various technology-related activities for NIST students so as to hone their technological abilities. We believe that NIST students must have access to proper technical knowledge, learning opportunities, and, if they desire, healthy competition, in order to use technology to the fullest extent in this increasingly connected society.
