STEM Fellows received a firsthand look at how robotics are used in advanced manufacturing during a visit to the General Motors plant in the Indiana Uplands in January.
Hands-on robotics learning kicked off the day, thanks to the Techpoint Foundation for Youth. In the afternoon, educators explored GM career pathways and witnessed robotics in action, gaining insight into how cutting-edge technology drives the future of advanced manufacturing.
Regional Opportunity Initiatives’ STEM Fellowship is a year-long professional development program to support teachers to integrate STEM concepts and employability skills into daily instruction.
Over the course of the year, Fellows meet monthly to learn new and engaging ways to build STEM knowledge and skills in their classrooms as well as strategies to help their colleagues grow as STEM educators.
By linking education with real-world industry applications, Regional Opportunity Initiatives empowers teachers to prepare students for high-demand, high-wage opportunities in STEM fields—showing that the possibilities are truly endless!
