Suffolk Public Schools is the host of an annual robotics challenge sponsored by Penn State and the US Department of Defense. ActiVAtED Learning Host Tom Landon traveled to Suffolk to talk to Christine Lafferty and John Littlefield to learn more.

Emily Heller introduced the inaugural monthly 'Visty and Action Demo Slam' webinar, led by the Education Committee with a focus on accessibility. The webinar featured a competition where attendees could demonstrate their own tools and resources. The committee's mission was outlined as producing blog posts and tech reels with quick, useful information for educators. The discussion also highlighted various tech tools used in teaching, including Moote, Remote, and Zip Caption. Later, a Chrome extension called web disability simulator was introduced to help teachers understand the experience of students with various disabilities when using digital tools. The meeting ended with an announcement about an exciting collaboration on a podcast with Vista, the DOE, and Blue Ridge Public Television.
