This year, Manhattan High School has introduced many student interest groups, to hopefully become clubs in the future. One of the new interest groups this year is the Student Technology Leaders.

“It is an opportunity for students to do such things as create websites or graphic design, multimedia projects and then go to a competition at k-state and showcase what they created,” Student Technology Leaders sponsor Carla Johnston said.

With the multiple technology based interest groups that have been created this year, it has opened up opportunities for many students.

“I think it gives students that are not able to fit a technology class into their schedule, an opportunity to compete and get together with other students that have those similar interests and showcase their skills and grow,” Johnston said.

The future for the technology interest groups and clubs is only going to expand in the future.

“We have talked about this club, combining with our programming club into a more general student technology club for next year, and then having more opportunities for all of those students together,” Johnston said.
