DFW Area Design Engineering & STEM Symposium
Sphero is excited to partner with Plano ISD to host a FREE Design Engineering & STEM Symposium for district and school leaders, principals, CTE/Tech and Engineering teachers, and 3-12 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 TEKS-aligned lesson plans, a supportive educator network, and the inspiration to lead meaningful innovation in your district.
