The Rotary Club of Nepean-Kanata will offer our 40th annual Adventure in High Technology (AiHT) program from October 20-23, 2024.
This year we will once again offer the program in person in Ottawa. The students will visit various businesses, each of whom will describe the unique and different ways that they use technology in their day-to-day work. The students will also either visit or hear presentations from a few educational institutions who will describe some of the training programs they offer in the high technology field.
Our 2023 program, which was online only via Zoom, was a huge the success and was rated highly by the students from around the world who attended. Click on the Programs & Speakers tab above to see the list of 2023 Presenters.
