2025 TETL Summer Conference

Discover how school districts, technical centers, community colleges and universities across Texas are using augmented reality, virtual reality and AI to innovate their STEM and CTE programs.

This session will feature Ben Peterson, former CTE Director at North East ISD, who has taken a unique approach to workforce preparedness with his students. Using AR/VR computers, Ben rotated students through hands-on activities in STEM, Health Sciences, Advanced Manufacturing, Agri-Science, and Transportation to expose students to career pathways. This approach has led to improved achievement, engagement, motivation, and workforce preparedness.
