2025 UEN Tech Summit

The Art and Science of 3D printing of IT things you never knew you could do or needed. Examples: Vivi Brackets for wall and Projector, "AnyCart" conversion to replaceable power cables using 3d printer and off the shelf parts for under $300... and more. Searching for ready made designs or making your own practical items. 3D printing for Educators supporting teachers in the classroom with lesson materials and other practical needs. Brief introduction demo to FreeCad 1.0 and TinkerCad and making your own Designs. Slicing and little printer setup

Talk about how I choose my printer at home and work. Present on the many different items we have made for Box Elder School District Present of items found and created for use in the classroom during the first year of teaching How the custom design process works for prototypes and upgrades Using TinkerCad to create what you cant find Using FreeCad 1.0 to create what you cant find (how I use a youtube channel to get started) Slicing you way to the printer Connecting to the printer over the network Tune up your printer

A follow up to a IPv6 presentation given last year

Last year I gave an a Presentation on what Salt Lake District was doing to incorporate IPv6 into our network. It contained our phases of IPv6 deployment and security. This session will be a report on how far we have come and give details on how to deploy things like Static IPv6 addressing, SLAAC and DHCP for IPv6.

As K-12 districts face rising costs and limited funds, it’s crucial to ensure you get the best value for your money when purchasing technology. Join me for a discussion on what to consider and some helpful tools to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of devices over their lifespan.

In this session, we’ll dive into the factors that contribute to the cost of a student or teacher device in K-12 education. We’ll examine various expenses, such as breakage costs, management expenses, and accessories. Additionally, we’ll use a calculator to comprehensively analyze all costs and determine the annual total cost of ownership per device.

Salt Lake City School District has developed a credit recovery system that integrates with Canvas and PowerSchool.

Salt Lake City School District has developed a credit recovery system that integrates with Canvas and PowerSchool. The system reads PowerSchool to look for failed grades. The counselors can use the system to automatically enroll students into Canvas courses. When the students complete and pass the course, the credit is automatically added to the student's transcript in PowerSchool

Research, education and networking at the FORGE Geothermal site near Milford, Utah. Network challenges in a remote but growing outdoor laboratory. Research into enhanced geothermal energy techniques and induced seismicity in Utah's renewable energy corridor.

Geothermal energy is often restricted to areas with underground heat, water and electrical transmission. Heat can always be found, but often the depth restricts how useful geothermal energy is. Enhanced geothermal targets areas that might otherwise be rejected. But, the gotcha is that injecting fluids into wells can often result in seismic activity. The University of Utah Seismograph Stations(UUSS) is part of the FORGE project, focused on monitoring seismic activity caused by enhanced geothermal. UUSS operates a network of instruments in and around the FORGE site. When the project was initially started, this was a radio-quiet zone (relatively speaking). As the project grows and matures, we've seen the radio noise floor increase and other problems crop up that interfere with telemetry. This presentation will focus on some of the technical networking aspects, including partnerships with UETN and Beaver County School District and the STEM-related outreach for the Utah FORGE project.

What is a privacy audit? What triggers a privacy audit? What are our obligations during a privacy audit? What are the possible outcomes of a privacy audit? What rules do privacy auditors follow? How often will we be audited? What will the audit focus on? What can we do to prepare ourselves? Join our session to find out! Presented by the State Privacy Auditor.

In this interactive session, we will explore the most pressing questions about privacy audits. We will specifically focus on measuring privacy risks related to the use of technology. We will also go over the new Privacy Auditing Standards developed by the State Privacy Auditor. Participants will have the opportunity to go through a "mock audit" during the session, with a focus on AI governance.
