Wisconsin Business World — a program of the WMC Foundation — has launched a new awards program for educators. The Manufacturing, Engineering and Technology (MET) Education Impact Awards program, presented by Plexus Corp., seeks to collect, highlight, and share best practice approaches to manufacturing, engineering, or technology education in the classroom and at district levels.
Wisconsin educators who encourage students to become engaged in future career opportunities in STEM fields by providing them with academic and technical skills are encouraged to apply. The award is aimed at teachers who inspire students to be lifelong learners by using unique methods of teaching, engaging students with real-world problems, and facilitating learning through curiosity and innovation.
The MET Education Impact Awards program includes cash prizes for first, second, and third place winners in both a Middle School Educator level and a High School Educator level. Submissions are due March 31 and will be judged by Plexus Corp. representatives and Wisconsin Business World staff. Winners will be announced summer 2023.
