Indiana's Department of Workforce Development and Ivy Tech are hosting teacher training workshops. This this the second year for them.

The teachers get some hands on experience by putting a small robot together.

"They are building the basic robot design that comes with the kit," explained Luke Ward, a visual communications instructor at Ivy Tech. "It's called the 'Squarebot' and it is just a basic driving robot to get them used to what's in the kit."

The kit contains about 500 pieces which the teacher gets to keep at the end of the workshop.
