Science and Math Summer Institute for Science Educators
June 6, 2011June 8-10 and June 20-23 I will be attending a summer institute for Nebraska science teachers:
Teachers interact with engineers and develop lesson plans incorporating cutting-edge materials and using multi-media technology. The lessons use real-world applications and are designed to increase students’ math and science skills and to teach students about several different disciplines of engineering. Our project has proven to be very successful and we expect this summer to be even better!
Similar to last year, this year we have the opportunity to invite 100 students to participate in an Engineering Education Excellence Institute. Students who are registered will go to the UNL campus to enjoy a day of interacting with world-renowned engineers, executives in industry, and leaders in government, touring on and off-campus sites, and experiencing and reviewing lessons from a student perspective presented by middle and high school teachers related to aspects of engineering.
Will keep this post updated throughout my time at the institute.
