VTSU Summer Class Teaches Educators About Robotics in the Classroom

NORTH CLARENDON — A summer class through Vermont State University is aiming to spread robotics and STEAM education through the state’s teachers.

The hybrid class, which began in July, will run until the end of October and is offered through VTSU’s Center for Schools, the primary purpose of which is to support the work of schools through in-service programs and graduate coursework.

Last Thursday, course educators Scott and Karen McCalla held the second of three in-person sessions at Mill River Union High School.

Karen, who also serves as MRUHS’ librarian and tech integrationist during the school year, said this is the second year the class has been offered. She added that it allows teachers to learn how to implement robotics in their classrooms.
