Tallapoosa County Schools set to begin construction on STEM trailer learning lab

Based on current design layouts, the facility will comprise four compartments focused on STEM careers, virtual reality, welding simulation and 3-D printing.  

Tallapoosa County Schools is constructing a new STEM trailer which will serve as a mobile classroom that will incorporate technology-based learning, including virtual reality and computer simulations for both academic and career education. 

Administrative leaders at Edward Bell Career Technical Center submitted a design proposal for the new facility to the school’s advisory committee on Thursday, May 26. The school has largely overseen the facility’s development since last fall after receiving two grants for the project.
