WHO:               Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) Teachers and District Staff

WHAT:             Dozens of BCPS teachers are back in the classroom this summer break – only this time, they are the students. The teachers are participating in a professional development course in robotics, and as a culminating event, they will compete in a friendly robotics challenge.

As part of this course, teachers learned how to design, build and program their robots. They will bring what they learned back to their own classrooms in the new school year, engaging students in high-tech learning.
