Welding the Gap: Integrating Miller OpenBook into Your Digital Classroom.
Tuesday July 21, 2026 4:00pm - 4:50pm EDT
Traditional welding instruction often struggles to bridge the gap between heavy textbooks and hands-on booth time. This session provides a practical roadmap for implementing Miller OpenBook as your primary instructional backbone. We will move beyond the basic setup and dive into how to leverage pre-built modules, track student progress in real-time, and customize the curriculum to fit your specific shop needs.

Machine Simulation Driven CNC Training for Modern Manufacturing
Wednesday July 22, 2026 1:00pm - 4:00pm EDT
This hands‑on workshop for CTE, manufacturing, and industrial technology educators demonstrates scalable, low‑risk CNC instruction using FANUC CNC Machining Simulators and Levil Technology classroom CNC machines: participants will learn to use simulation to teach fundamentals, programming, setup, troubleshooting, and robotics before students touch live equipment—reducing scrap, crashes, and equipment downtime while accelerating competency‑based learning aligned with industry expectations and NOCTI FANUC credentials—and will see how compact Levil machines let students safely run real FANUC‑controlled programs in limited lab space and budgets, linking simulation to hands‑on skills and preparing students for automated, data‑driven production where FANUC controls are widely used.
