" Loran Parker and Weiling Li, both in the College of Education, are co-investigators on the project team who will study the work's impact.
An advisory board with representatives from Phoenix Contact, Balluff and the National Center for Women and Information Technology, along with educational experts, will guide the project team.
A total of 165 teachers and around 2,800 students in grades six through eight will be involved. Two schools have agreed to partner on the effort: Lafayette Sunnyside Intermediate School and Winamac Middle School in Winamac. Middle schools that are interested in being considered for the project should email the team at techfit@purdue.edu.
