ACTE Policy Watch Blog readers interested in participating in the CTE Makeover Challenge can learn more during a webinar scheduled Thursday, March 17, from 4-5:00 p.m. (EDT).
As ACTE previously reported, the U.S. Department of Education’s (ED) competition will award $200,000 in funds to up to 10 recipient high schools to create “makerspaces,” dedicated, formalized facilities for making things, which can range from classrooms to libraries.
The challenge presents an opportunity for CTE programs to upgrade their labs and equipment within the federal grant opportunities defined parameters. The deadline for submissions is coming up fast – all entries must be received by April 1, 2016! Application information is available in the Federal Register, here.
Thursday’s webinar will be hosted Albert Palacios, Education Program Specialist at ED’s Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education, who will provide additional information about the grant competition and take questions. Registration for the webinar is available here, and the session will be archived after it is complete.
