Research Experiences for Teachers
Each summer, our research group hosts a high school science teacher. This experience will provide teachers with research experiences and help foster an ongoing relationship that will enable them to share the latest developments in STEM fields with students and inspire their students to learn more about science and engineering and their related career paths.
This experience includes 35 hours per week of research experience along with 5 hours of pedagogical training to help integrate their research experiences into the classroom. Our group works with the teacher to translate this summer experience into activities that can be used in their classrooms. This opportunity is funded by the Center for Biorenewable Chemicals (CBirC), an NSF-funded Engineering Research Center.
