A new virtual technology at Scott Community College is taking the paint out of spray painting while giving students more hands-on training. Last fall, the Bettendorf campus of the Eastern Iowa Community College District became the nation’s first community college to introduce the new VirtualPaint System in the classroom. Purchased with a $175,000 grant from the Grow Iowa Values Fund, the system is used in the college’s Auto Collision Department to train students who want to learn to paint vehicles as well as other painting applications.
