FHTCC’s techPATH Engages Sebring Students for First Math & Physics Day Held in Highlands County

With the huge demand for high-skilled, knowledge and technology jobs in this current economy, there is a critical need to provide a strong foundation in math and science for future generations. Florida High Tech Corridor Council’s workforce initiative, techPATH, has focused its efforts on showcasing the importance of math and science through special programs in partnership with Corridor schools. Last month, techPATH hosted a Math & Physics Day workshop with South Florida Community College (SFCC) for Sebring Middle School students—the first such program held in Highlands County. President Norm Stephens graciously hosted the program on SFCC's campus and kicked off the presentations for the students. Through hands-on science experiments and simulation demonstrations, more than 30 students learned about the importance of science education and about the kinds of careers available in high tech fields.
