PA STEELS Engineering Design & STEM Symposium

 
Sphero is excited to partner with the MCIU, along with the CCIU, DCIU, and Bucks IU, to host a FREE Engineering Design & STEM Symposium for principals, school leaders, CTE/Tech and Engineering teachers, and K-12 STEM/STEAM educators eager to bring engineering, robotics, and competitions to life in the classroom.

 This hands-on professional learning experience features engaging sessions with Blueprint Snap, Blueprint Engineering, and Blueprint Robotics—giving participants the chance to explore innovative ways to teach foundational engineering, robotics, and real-world problem solving that connect directly to future career pathways.

Discover how engineering and robotics can enhance interdisciplinary learning, build critical thinking skills, and empower students to design creative solutions. You’ll leave with ready-to-use STEELS-aligned lesson plans, a supportive educator network, and the inspiration to lead meaningful innovation in your district.

Jamie Nesbitt
The Sphero STEM Symposium was a day of learning, collaboration, and play! It was incredible to see educators from across the state come together to explore STEM and robotics-integrated lessons. Hearing laughter and watching teachers exchange ideas and contact info was the best feedback on the day’s success!
