Technology
Why It's Important
It's crucial to use technology in classrooms in ways that go beyond passive consumption. We need to empower students to actively create and innovate with technology, making it a tool for positive and productive learning.
Our training programs cover everything from robotics to 3D printing and laser cutting, equipping educators to integrate these technologies effectively into their teaching.
By incorporating these tools, we can transform the way students learn across subjects like engineering, design, biology, and art, preparing them for success in an increasingly tech-driven world.
