Penn State Wilkes-Barre’s Office of Continuing Education has announced its summer youth camps for 2023. Two weeks of camp are offered, with Week 1 scheduled for June 26 to 30, and Week 2 planned for July 10 to 14.
Community residents and members of the campus community were able to view a rare astronomical event at Penn State Wilkes-Barre’s Friedman Observatory. The observatory opened for two nights in early February for anyone interested in trying to catch a glimpse of the “green comet.” Those who came were able to use the observatory’s high-powered 16-inch Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain LX200 telescope.
Fourteen Penn State instructors from eight campuses and three colleges worked with Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT) over the past summer and fall as part of the 2022-23 TLT Faculty Engagement Awards program. Their goal was to enhance the student engagement experience using Experiential Virtual Spaces.
This image shows the SpatialChat Experiential Virtual Space platform setup used by Dr. Denise Potosky in her Behavioral Science in Business course at Penn State Great Valley. She added a bulletin board graphic at the front of the virtual classroom space and used movable gold stars to recognize students for in-class participation.
