Michelle Allen, principal at the Carbon Career & Technical Institute, Jim Thorpe, announced that CCTI will be hosting an engineering night on Feb. 20.

“We will be inviting eighth grade students, their parents and school personnel to participate in a hands-on robotics and engineering workshop,” Allen said. “During this event, teams of students will build a mobile robot, program the robot, and compete in challenges against the other teams unleashing students’ creativity and teamwork in Mobile Robotics.”

The school will send postcards and post event on social media as the event draws closer.

Registration will be required and space will be limited.

Allen also reported that the final fifth grade presentations will be done at Towamensing Elementary School on Jan. 28 and Weatherly on Feb. 5.

“We have also scheduled Towamensing’s sixth graders to tour our technical areas on March 5,” Allen added. “Each class will have a short lesson or activity for the students to participate in.

“I would like to thank all the districts for allowing us to present at your schools and for allowing your students to visit CCTI.”
