TEACHER TRAINING

Empower Teachers to Build the Future.

Give your educators the skills, confidence, and practical experience to bring robotics, coding, engineering and project-based STEM learning into the classroom.

WHY TEACHER TRAINING?

Build the educators who build the future.

A STEM program is only as strong as the educators who deliver it. MechaBlox works alongside teachers to develop practical technical skills and the confidence needed to facilitate meaningful hands-on learning.

Our training combines robotics, coding, electronics, 3D design and project-based learning with the PIRPOSAL Model, giving teachers a repeatable framework they can use long after our instructors leave the classroom.

THE PIRPOSAL ADVANTAGE

Don't just teach technology. Teach students how to think.

Teachers learn how to move students beyond simply following instructions. Through PIRPOSAL, educators guide learners to identify problems, investigate possibilities, prototype solutions, test their ideas and justify what they have built.
