The Digital Corps was nominated for the Educational Impact award at the 2023 Mira Awards ceremony. The Mira Awards honor the \u2018best of tech\u2019 in Indiana and nominate high achievers.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to TechPoint\u2019s website, the Educational Impact award recognizes STEM educators, organizations, coaches, <\/span>programs, and platforms that inspire and open doors for learners of any ages, create economic opportunities and have an undeniably positive impact on student achievement and the future workforce.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A nomination for an inspirational category such as the Educational Impact award was a huge honor for the Digital Corps and was the first time the organization was nominated for a Mira Award.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A few devoted student workers from the Digital Corps; Brandon Smith, Executive Director; and Riley Paulsen, Assistant Director, attended the black-tie event on April 22. The crew of tech students and staff enjoyed a delicious meal before the awards were announced.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Digital Corps did not win their category; however, they were excited and grateful for the opportunity to attend such a prestigious event.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tyler Newlin, a Ball State student worker majoring in computer science, was honored to attend. \u201cOne of the nominees was a kid from a high school, so it was super inspirational to see him start his own company. It was cool to see a lot of tech companies in Indiana. It seems we\u2019re on the rise with tech.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, the Digital Corps had an inspirational night at the Mira Awards, and hope to return soon and bring home a win.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
