Kevin Summey, CTE Director, recently visited Freeland High School to check out the PRIME lab overseen by Industrial Arts Instructor Ciaran Bryne. Thanks to the SME PRIME initiative, students at Freeland High School are able to learn CNC machining on mini-mills in Mr. Keson's Manufacturing Technology 1 class. This technology allows students to gain hands-on experiences that they will use in the real world! #careerpreparation #careertraining #OurStory #ourctestory

Our STEM Program Director, Mark Lyons, had the incredible opportunity to present at the Delta College Girls' Day Out event, an inspiring initiative that introduces young women to STEM careers through hands-on activities. Instead of focusing on how to teach students to use AI, Mark’s session emphasized the importance of educators and adults modeling AI integration in their own practices.

a sheet of paper that reads "The conversation around AI in education often focuses on teacher efficiency (creating lesson plans faster, responding to emails quicker) but we aren’t spending nearly enough time talking about the importance of modeling the use of AI for our students. Using AI to improve efficiency is just the beginning, not the goal.  The real opportunity? Empowering students for an AI-driven future.  🔹 How can we model using AI as a brainstorming partner? 🔹 How can we use AI to provide feedback to enhance learning? 🔹 How do we teach students to use AI to synthesize complex information?  Yes, AI can save time. But more importantly, it can shape the next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders." by Richard Culatta
