Welcome, Lieutenant Governor Karyn Polito!

The Engineering and Technology Academy was honored today to host the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts, Karyn Polito.  Lieutenant Governor Polito was welcomed by Principal Sally Maloney, Head of the ETA John Staley, before being given a tour of the ETA's two workshops, as well as two classrooms. Guests were invited to see the freshmen students at work, the robotics team, and the sophomore students working on programming and building robots. Then, in the library, a series of speeches were given about the importance of STEM programs for K-12 students. These speeches were given by Karen Polito, Dr. Rex Bolinger (Senior Vice President of PLTW), Katherine Skrivan (Mass STEM Hub), and Bruce Bursten (WPI).
