HSE’s Evening Of Innovation

LarryInFishers.com

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness has a phrase he uses very time he has the opportunity – the mayor wants his city to be “smart, vibrant and entrepreneurial.”  The Hamilton Southeastern School District takes in the City of Fishers and some surrounding areas, but the schools have seized that cue from the city administration and have taken on an entrepreneurial and an innovative approach to education.

That was on display Wednesday night at the school corporation’s “Evening of Innovation” at HSE High School.  The booths consumed all of the College & Career Academy and spread into adjacent hallways.  There was a large crowd on hand on a gorgeous spring Fishers evening.

You experienced everything from chickens to robotics to virtual reality, and plenty more.

This event was so big there is no way to write a summary, so I tried to capture it in a series of photos…lots of photos, which you see below.

For obvious reasons, the chickens were kept outside the building, but people saw them while entering the school
