Our Industry 4.0 Teacher Academy 3-day summer experience was a huge success!
Over the course of three days, 25 dedicated teachers from 15 school districts, spanning various grade levels and subject areas, came together for an inspiring experience. This group of educators brought incredible energy, enthusiasm, and a strong desire to learn. Each of them had their own “light bulb” moments, sparking new ideas and approaches. 💡 The industry panelists shared valuable insights, expressing their eagerness to engage in programming and community initiatives that will introduce local students to exciting career opportunities in manufacturing and technology. Catalyst Connection, the Consortium for Public Education, and our resource partners provided practical, easy-to-implement strategies for districts to start bringing these new ideas to their students.
