We had an exciting week at the Siemens Engineering Design Summer Teacher Training! 🌟
Middle school & secondary educators gathered for an enriching experience led by Master Trainers Bill Kuschel and TJ Hendrickson.

Using the FREE Siemens Engineering Design curriculum for 9th-12th grade, developed by Tom White and Dick Blais, attendees utilized FREE SolidEdge 3D Modeling software. Each participant received a 3D printer for their classroom, equipping students with real-world tech skills and the curriculum to maximize its usage.

A big thank you to all the passionate educators who attended! Your dedication to enhancing STEM education is inspiring. Together, we’re helping to prepare learners for a career or college...but why not both?
