Futuristic £250,000 Robot Dog Inspires Burnley College Students Spot, the innovative robot dog from Boston Dynamics, visited Burnley College to demonstrate its advanced capabilities to ambitious Construction Students and Apprentices, bringing their curriculum to life. Under the expert guidance of Amanda Bradshaw and Ben Lewis from Korec, a leader in surveying and mapping, the £250,000 robot showcased how it can autonomously survey large areas and venture into hazardous zones inaccessible to humans. Equipped with a mounted laser scanner, Spot is a technological marvel as well as a significant educational tool for the Students. Learn more: https://buff.ly/3ZgKtAH

I decided to join Weber State University because my own life's mission aligned perfectly with the university's focus on access, learning, and communty. During my first few months, it's become clear that these tenants really do serve as our north star. Here is just one example of how our commitment to access, learning, and community manifests in practice: https://lnkd.in/gPMmH5D8

How much #research can High School students do in 2 weeks? They can do enough to make a drone fly by a small twitch of a muscle 💪 Had an enormous pleasure this summer working with a group of HS students here at College of Engineering, UMass Amherst thanks to the SENGI program run by Paula Rees! #STEMEducation #HighSchoolResearch #UMassAmherst #CollegeOfEngineering #FutureInnovators #SENGIProgram #MentorshipMatters #TechEducation #DroneTechnology #YouthInScience #EngineeringFuture #InspiringYoungMinds

Watch these future engineers in action! We recently had the privilege of working with 5th graders at Horizon Elementary on an engineering project that challenged students to design a bumper to protect a car and its “passenger” – a hard-boiled egg. 😄 Using everyday materials like cardboard, tape, and bubble wrap, these young engineers learned about force, motion, and safety in vehicle design. We loved seeing their creativity in action and sharing insights into the world of automotive manufacturing! Madison City Schools, Madison, AL

Wondering if #VR #AR and #AI is really a reality for #AdultEducation programs? Check out what's happening in #Hempstead TX. zSpace, Inc. is connecting youth to advanced #Preskilling opportunities. We work with #OpportunityYouth and adults. #Practice and #LearnerEngagement is an investment for all ages. Plus the front end investment saves on traditional costs of materials associated with classes like #Welding for example. And it allows our #Instructors an opportunity to elevate their skills and expertise in integrating advanced ed tech tools into their classroom experience.

A little progress each day adds up to big results! I am glad to share that I have successfully completed EV Fundamentals course from Internshala Trainings. Check out my certificate here! #internshala #internshalatrainings

Fairfield University is "Transforming the Future" with their Jackal UGV, a robotic tour guide programmed for precision. "With ongoing programming, Jackal is being trained to traverse not just Bannow [Science Center]’s corridors but eventually the entire campus, redefining what it means to explore Fairfield."

Start you career in manufacturing today.

It’s inspiring to watch Ohio Lt. Governor Jon Husted championing robotics and automation career training while supporting funding for programs like Millstream in Findlay, Ohio, and similar initiatives across the state. These facilities are invaluable, serving not only CTE students but also learners in technical colleges and universities. But the need is greater than one state. It’s time to establish a national program that prioritizes robotics, AI, and automation training in schools nationwide. Every student, regardless of location, should have access to cutting-edge facilities that prepare them to excel in an increasingly automated and AI-driven economy. Advanced manufacturing training should be accessible for anyone ready to pursue it, ensuring America remains a global leader in smart manufacturing. Let’s advocate for this national movement and build the workforce of tomorrow, driving innovation and growth across industries. Together, we can make it happen! #Automation #Robotics #AI #WorkforceDevelopment #Education #automate2025 #automateshow #skillsusa #acte
