EdCamp attendees post online the topics they want to know more about, and those who have the knowledge volunteer to give presentations. Some topics included Getting Googlie with Blackboard; Learn to Make Your Own Apps for Free, No Coding Needed; No Fuss Virtual Realty; and Coding Digitally and with Toys. Donors provided breakfast and lunch to participants. Kate Crawford, Angie Foerster, Lisa Dobbs, Matt Jackson, and Jennifer Kaiser of the Fayette County Schools Instructional Technology Department organized the event.
