Polk State unveiled its Steelcase Education Active Learning Classroom on Dec. 7 on the Lakeland Campus, offering tours of the transformed makerspace that uses design and technology to boost student engagement.

Polk State is one of only 16 institutions in North America to receive a Steelcase Education Active Learning Center Grant in 2018 to create an active learning classroom. It will be used by Polk State’s Education baccalaureate program, further enhancing the College’s ability to produce highly-skilled teacher candidates to fill Polk County’s workforce needs.
