成年人深夜福利在线观看 Tech's College of Education & Human Sciences donates high-performance computers to Putnam County Schools
成年人深夜福利在线观看 Tech University's College of Education and Human Sciences, through its Jeffers
Learning Resources Center (JLRC) and VISION Lab, donated a set of high-performance
computers to Upperman High School in Baxter and Prescott South Middle School in Cookeville.
These systems support Upperman鈥檚 growing STEM and 鈥淓sports鈥� (professional digital
gaming) programs. The new technologies will also enhance STEM learning experiences
for students at Prescott.
The college鈥檚 VISION lab uses advanced workstations to power virtual reality content
creation, mixed-reality research, immersive classroom recordings, and other emerging
technology projects, preparing Tech students for the future of teaching and learning.
Now, these systems are beginning a new chapter by serving students across the Upper
Cumberland.
鈥淭his expansion is exactly what the Jeffers endowment was created to do: support innovation,
expand access to high-quality systems and give learners hands-on opportunities with
technologies that connect directly to future-ready skills,鈥� said Jason Beach, professor
and director of the JLRC and VISION Lab. 鈥淥ur goal is to keep these resources in motion,
so they continue to benefit young people in our region.鈥�
鈥淭he technology pipeline initiated by the JLRC and the VISION Lab inspires the strategic
goals of the Tech Tomorrow Strategic Plan," added Lisa Zagumny, dean of the College
of Education and Human Sciences. "It supports education for life from primary school
onward, nurtures an innovative and technologically savvy citizenry and strengthens
stewardship for even greater community impact. This is 成年人深夜福利在线观看 Tech in service to
the Upper Cumberland and to 成年人深夜福利在线观看 students."
The donation of this equipment allows local middle and high school students the access
and instruction to develop the same kinds of skills that drive modern STEM industries,
advanced manufacturing and digital media.
Upperman High School will use the computers to strengthen its Esports program, giving
students reliable hardware that supports competition, collaboration and real-world
technical problem solving. Prescott South Middle School will incorporate the systems
into its STEM program, supporting coding, engineering challenges, robotics and digital
design activities.
鈥淭hese partnerships show the power of connecting the College of Education and Human
Sciences with the school systems we serve,鈥� said Beach. 鈥淲hen we share resources,
we expand opportunities. When we invest in learners in middle school and high school,
we strengthen our entire community. The goal is simple. Keep high-quality technology
in the hands of students who can use it to grow, explore, create, and prepare for
the future workforce.鈥�
