Research Experiences for Teachers
Perform cutting edge research while working directly with experts in the field.
K-14 educators will work directly with high-level researchers to contribute to scientific discovery in a laboratory setting. Participants will enhance their scientific knowledge and translate their research experiences into exciting classroom activities and curricula.
This is a paid summer program lasting 6 weeks.
Participants are paid $5300, receive travel to the NSTA in Atlanta next year, and are given a stipend to purchase supplies for classroom activities.
