Maconaquah Tech

Last semester’s 5th period has officially earned the Golden Tomahawk award. This team consistently went above and beyond, handling everything from Chromebook repairs to advanced switch configurations, delivering finished repairs to classes, and soldering! #hireyourstudents

Big news! Mr. Novinger is officially our first AI-certified Google teacher! 🤖🎓 He’s already proving how #NotebookLM can streamline the classroom. Don't miss out on the free @GoogleForEdu certifications (Level 1, 2, & AI) while they last! ⏳ #AIinEdu #Maconaquah #keepimproving

Virtual Day Success! 🚀 We successfully installed three second-life switches in our non-critical closets. A massive thank you to our two Tech Tribe Hall of Famers Justin and Tyler who went above and beyond by volunteering their day off to ensure we got the job done! #TechTribe

Parker is at it again! 🛠️ We’re giving our reliable E-Rate @ruckusnetworks switches a second life with new redundant power supplies and fans. We’re currently wiping the old configs with @TeraTerm and syncing them with Ruckus One. They’ll be ready for production in no time!

The 8th-period Tech Tribers are having a great time giving some older Chromebooks a refresh so they can be used for our wrestling program! #keepimproving #hireyourstudents

Thrilled to be featured on the @ipevo website for our streaming solution! This solution is reliable, user-friendly, and costs significantly less than the options recommended by other vendors! us.ipevo.com/blogs/success-…

Repair Friday! Motherboards, hinges, screens, and headphone jacks. All-in-house under the hardware leadership of Mr. Trevor Brown! #hireyourstudents

We received 150 new Dell touchscreen Chromebooks for next year's first-grade students! Unbox, label, enroll, wrap chargers, and run Google updates! We refresh the devices for 1st, 5th, and 9th grades every year!

Our two newest recruits in the Tech Tribe are fixing a broken screen! #hireyourstudents

8th Period Tech Tribers repairing Chromebook screens today!

Two great days of growth for our Maconaquah tech team! We kicked it off with the Indiana Skyward User Conference on Thursday and are now attending the Integrity 1Day event! #keepimproving #BravePride

**Summer 2025 Highlights** - Replaced 13 analog outdoor cameras with digital. Deployed 520 new Google Chromebooks. Repaired (90), cleaned, and updated 1,200 existing Chromebooks to ChromeOS 136. Upgraded 163 staff devices from Windows 10 to Windows 11 by the October deadline.

Meet Josh, a three-time Tech Tribe golden tomahawk winner! 🏆 He's dedicated his summer to transforming Tech @MaconaquahBrave. Just imaged every E-Sports desktop for the 25-26 school year! 🎮 #hireyourstudents

Another successful year for the Tech Tribe program! The Golden Tomahawk award goes to Josh, Isabel, and Ruby. The Most Valuable Tech award goes to Parker! #hireyourstudents #FutureLeaders

Congratulations to our Senior Tech Triber, Hannah! She has just won the Rising Star Award from NCWiT, becoming one of only 44 women in Indiana and one of just 400 women in the US! A special shoutout to @JulieDinn1 for encouraging Hannah's passion for tech!

Exciting times! We are currently deploying three grade levels of new Chromebooks for our next year's 1st, 5th, and 9th grade students! Unboxing, labeling, enrolling, updating, and repeating. #keepimproving #BravePride

For the first time in Tech Tribe history, Parker, one of our hardware leaders, successfully soldered a new audio jack onto the motherboard of a 1:1 Google Chromebook. This saved us from paying a third party or doing a motherboard swap, saving approximately $220! #hireyourstudents

We are proud to present the Golden Tomahawk award to our 1st semester, 4th-period class! These four students demonstrated a can-do attitude, were proactive, performed 1:1 repairs, deployed a Board Room streaming solution, and completed Helpdesk tickets. Great job!

@DustinShadbolt @MaconaquahBrave @IUIndianapolis Yes, we love the ChromeOS flex. We have done hundreds over the years. Mostly to be our loaner devices at our middle and high school. Loaners for ILEARN also.

@mactechtribe @MaconaquahBrave @IUIndianapolis You guys using Flex I take it? Any issues? We’ve done two units, but might do more in the future on a wider scale.

Shoutout to our intern Jameson! He is a @MaconaquahBrave grad and recently graduated from @IUIndianapolis in IT. He is volunteering until he lands his first IT job! Getting real-world experience. Upgrading staff to W11 and turning old Windows laptops into Chromebooks.
