What’s happening in @Newlexworkforce is an example of what should become the “norm” rather than the exception. Pathways,curriculum,and facilities all aligned to the intersection of student strengths and regional employment needs!! @shp_design @futureplansoh @AppSTEMCollab

Appreciate these guys. They came in for STEAM night to show off Robotics and Engineering.

[Chad Miller @CMill_STEMguy]

Students took a “pop quiz” and had to move a part from start to finish during ind robot today. Dalton did a great job even after saying, “I’ve never taken a class like this.” @OSLN @cevsd2 @AppSTEMCollab This serves as a check point as we work towards @FANUCAmerica credential.
