Evolving the classroom is imperative to prepare our students for their futures. In this edWebinar, attendees will be introduced to areas of new-age tech that are embedded in Industry 4.0, including design, robotics, and AI. Building on that knowledge base, the presenters will discuss how the world around us relies on this tech and will ever more into the future. They’ll also take a look at how this affects students today and their career choices down the road. Make your students developers, instead of consumers, of tech and STEM!
This edWebinar will be of interest to middle and high school teachers, librarians, education technology leaders, and school and district leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
