MAVA Members,
We are most pleased to share the attached flyer concerning the "Vocational Gift Creation Competition".
Tia Gerber and Nik Kedian from Whittier are the Gifts Committee Co-Chairs.
Hello, MA Vocational Schools —
We have an exciting opportunity for your vocational students and instructors to craft a "gift" using their skills, knowledge, and expertise for the March 2026 MassCTE Conference held in Foxboro, MA!
This conference offers a fabulous opportunity for vocational and academic instructors, along with administrators, to learn, network, and recharge. One of the weekend’s most popular events is the "Vocational Gift Creation Competition," where students and instructors collaborate to create incredible projects for showcase at the conference. Past submissions have included chairs, tables, clocks, cornhold boards, firepits, cupboards, jewelry holders, and more.
Conference attendees have the chance to view all projects throughout the conference — They vote for Best in Show and Most Creative. Raffle tickets are available for purchase by conference attendees, making it a friendly competition to see who will walk away with each one-of-a-kind item by the end of the conference.
This is likely a challenge your students would love!
Let’s see what they can make with the support and encouragement of their instructors.
If you are interested in submitting an item, please email Tia Gerber or VOCATIONAL GIFT CREATION COMPETITION (1).pdf
