The BAT organized the November 2017 Tech Expo at the Colville campus of Spokane Community College. The event was free to the public and included presentations on internet security, software training, and library programs. Also present were local and national vendors and providers, and the Stevens County Rural Library District offered hands-on experience in the “gadget garage.” The Colville High School Alternative Energy class and the Kettle Falls High School Robotics team staffed booths and offered demos of their switchboards, robots and tech projects.
