Tomorrow needs more technically skilled professionals. Middle School Educators are invited to attend this week long, paid, residential STEM camp at Pennsylvania College of Technology that aims to create an awareness of and exposure to realities of upcoming workforce needs and career entry points related to construction and manufacturing. The goal is to expand the knowledge of educators to include hands-on and STEM education in the middle school classroom. This project is funded by a PASmart Grant.

• What: STEM Careers Re-Imagined: Middle School Educator Externship. For educators in the following counties: Bradford, Clinton, Lycoming, Montour, Northumberland, Potter, Snyder, Sullivan, Tioga, Union

The concepts of this camp are design and build. Educators will receive a mobile lab kit including a 3D printer, explore the new science standards, test 3D learning standards, learn how to bring hands-on learning to the classroom, and network with college faculty, industry partners, and other educators. After the camp, they will have access to an educator curated lesson bank, an equipment lending library, industry tours for students, and a student showcase.
