WNEP-TV’s Mackenzie Aucker reported on the final day of STEM Careers Re-Imagined, a hands-on externship for secondary school teachers throughout the state. The recent weeklong camp at Penn College engaged the teachers in STEM activities that they can duplicate in their own classrooms this fall. Auker’s story focused on the mini-cars the teachers produced with 3D printers. Her interviews included externship organizer Kathy D. Chesmel, assistant dean of materials sciences and engineering technology, and Adam C. Barilla, assistant professor of polymer technology. (Watch for more externship coverage on Penn College News.)
