For the second consecutive year, Independence High School students attended the Hewlett-Packard Annual Student Enrichment Event at HP headquarters in Alpharetta. The 16 IHS students began their day at a continental breakfast meet and greet and learned about different career opportunities at Hewlett-Packard. They were given a tour of the Graphics Center, led by Mr. James Cooper and a demonstration of HP SPROUT by Ms. Tammie Trinh. HP SPROUT is a Windows 8 desktop. But its also a dual-screen creative console with its own projector, a giant touch-enabled screen and a 3D-capable scanner. The product is the result of a partnership between HP, Microsoft, Intel and 3M. After a catered lunch break, the students wrapped up their visit with a tour of the Next Gen Data Center, led by Ms. Deborah Thornton.
