Workshop and Peer Learning Community for Educators
Through Making Across Montana, spectrUM delivers in-person professional development workshops and a virtual peer learning community for educators from across our state. These workshops are intended to build teachers' knowledge and confidence implementing making and tinkering experiences in their classrooms, while also breaking down access barriers for remote, rural schools.
