At FETC, Promethean will also be featuring its award-winning Escape Room experience, a professional development offering that provides training to effectively utilize Promethean's solutions in the classroom. During the Escape Room simulation, attendees are tasked to complete different challenges that incorporate Promethean's solutions, coding, and virtual reality. Every completed challenge leads participants closer to escaping the room while at the same time learning how to use Promethean's technology in their classroom.

As part of its new 'For the Love of Learning' campaign, Promethean will be announcing the winners of its 2018 US Grant Program at FETC. First launched in 2017 in the UK, the Promethean Grant was designed to help schools overcome increasing budgetary pressures which can become a barrier to accessing the latest teaching technology. To participate, schools from across the United States were invited to submit video entries explaining why they would benefit from winning an ActivPanel – the latest interactive flat panel display. Entries were judged on three criteria: creativity, need, and the impact the technology would have on their students. Twenty winners have been selected, and will be announced at FETC, each to receive a fully installed ActivPanel package. For a complete list of winners once they have been announced, please visit www.PrometheanWorld.com/Grant.
