Teachers from across the region will have the opportunity to get hands-on training using cutting-edge tools at Chattanooga’s inaugural Digital Fabrication Institute later this month.

More than 200 educators are expected to attend the institute through a partnership between the Public Education Foundation, Hamilton County Schools, the Hamilton County Education Association and the NEA Foundation.

The initiative is one of three efforts funded by a $150,000 grant from the NEA Foundation.
