BALTIMORE, MD -- The FIRST Robotics Competition's premier event in Maryland is moving to Baltimore for 2010. The Chesapeake Regional, featuring more than 1,000 high school students in 49 robotics teams from around the nation, will be held at the Baltimore Convention Center on March 11-13, 2010. The annual event has been held at the Naval Academy in Annapolis for the past seven years, and comes to Baltimore to a larger facility and a greater base of attendees, sponsors and volunteers.

Michael Eisenklam, principal at Eldersburg Elementary School, has been selected as the Carroll County Public School System’s nominee for the Maryland Outstanding Technology Leader in Education Award. This award is presented by the Maryland Society for Educational Technology to recognize an educator outside the classroom who has made exemplary contributions to the implementation of technology in Maryland’s schools.
