Our 2026 training dates are set! Join us online from your classroom or come to Pittsburgh for hands-on learning at the National Robotics Engineering Center. You’ll work with our curriculum on CS2N.org, practice classroom-ready strategies, and leave with the confidence to teach robotics effectively.
