Did you know that you can check out equipment such as the StarLab, Mobile VR Kits, and the Telepresence System or materials from the [IMS STEM Lending Library](https://pastem.tiu11.org/intermediate_units/lancaster-lebanon-intermediate-unit-13/resources)? Certification workshops are available or you can just come and explore items such as Sphero Robots, Makey Makey, and Phidgets. 

Sessions will be designed to provide educators with training on the program, then provide ample time to ask questions, collaborate with colleagues, and develop lessons and projects for the new school year. 

 I will be attending so I hope to see you there.

Great training to start your amazing new school year!
