Technology Awareness Day - Celebrating 18 Years
"You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."
– R. Buckminster Fuller
"Technology is nothing. What's important is that you have a faith in people that they're basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they'll do wonderful things with them."
- Steve Jobs
What is it?
BNSF's Technology Awareness Day is part of the National Black Family Technology Awareness Week. The national campaign was started by IBM, and aims to "promote significant minority achievement in engineering, science and technology." Corporate-sponsored events are held nationally during a week in February.
BNSF began hosting the event in 2004, and attendance has grown every year.
February 11, 2017
At BNSF's Fort Worth headquarters' campus. The one-day event is a local version of the campaign that aims to educate local minority youths about careers in the technology field and challenges attendees to design and develop their own technological solutions that are judged at the event.
BNSF leaders hope you can join us for the event in 2017!
