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.
