Clark, Floyd teachers learn the art of competitive robotics at three-day Ivy Tech workshop
Description:
New Albany Tribune - It took only three eight-hour days for Martin Wright to learn how to build a functioning robot. But the lessons learned in the three-day workshop could be benefiting Wright’s students for years to come. “They’re getting $5,000 worth of equipment for free,” said Daniel Ward, who is the chair of the design technology program at Ivy Tech in Kokomo. “We came down here with a van full of materials and we’re going home with nothing but our luggage.” Funded by an Indiana Department of Workforce Development grant, Ward and his brother Luke, an instructor at the Kokomo campus, have been offering the workshop to teachers all over the state. Martin Wright, Terry Hunter and Fred Finch were among the 16 teachers who participated in the workshop at Ivy Tech Community College in Sellersburg. |
