Professional Development

“Maker learning engages students in a way that cannot be taught in a textbook.”

– Scott Murphy, Director of College and Career Readiness & Districtwide Programs, Montgomery County Public Schools

Our professional development equips educators with practical, accessible strategies to boost engagement, deliver innovative instruction, build transferable career-readiness skills, and deepen student learning—all within your current curriculum standards.

These workshops immerse educators in the same kind of high-impact, experiential learning we bring to students while building practical strategies, technical confidence, and cross-disciplinary teaching tools.
