TLI: Technology Leadership Institute- 2025-2026
Thursday, March 12th, 2026 - Field Trip- Manhattan University School of Engineering
We are thrilled to announce our first-ever FIELD TRIP on March 12th 8AM-12:00PM; in partnership with Manhattan University’s School of Engineering—widely known as “The School that Built New York!”
As our districts continue to strengthen STEM and STEAM pathways and prepare for New York’s Inspire requirements, partnerships like this are essential to building meaningful, future‑ready learning experiences. This half‑day session will give leaders a firsthand look at engineering beyond the K–12 setting, with opportunities to learn directly from engineering faculty, current students, and each other. K–12 leaders will also have the opportunity to share the innovative programs, pathways, and initiatives happening in their districts—building stronger, more aligned connections between our schools and universities.
When: Thursday, March 12, 2026 • 8:00 AM–1:00 PM
Where: Manhattan University, Kelly Commons & School of Engineering
