ExCITE II Grant - Cohort 3 - Please Share - Only 10 Seats Left!

[Roberta Tilleman]

Hello,

Passing this onto you SkillsUSA Advisors, that may know someone in your school that will be interested in this or you yourself may benefit from.

Thank you,

Roberta

 

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Mark Harrell, and I am the Director of the STEM Center with the International Technology & Engineering Educators Association (ITEEA). We’re like ACTE, but just for Technology & Engineering Educators. We are currently part of an NSF Grant that is looking for high school Technology, Engineering, and STEM educators to implement computer science in their program. We consider a target program to offer these types of concepts to the students: woodworking, 3d printing, CAD, CNC, drafting, robotics, engineering design process,  etc. We are not targeting computer science educators. I am hoping you can send this opportunity to your Skills USA advisor network and please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks,
Mark Harrell

Empower Your Classroom with ExCITE II Cohort 3 – Now Accepting Applications from all 50 states!

10 cohort seats left for the 26-27 school year, do not delay!

Are you passionate about preparing your students for the future of technology and engineering? The ExCITE II program is now recruiting high school technology & engineering educators for Cohort 3 (26-27 school year), and this is your opportunity to be part of a national initiative that’s transforming how students experience computer science and engineering design. We consider a target program to offer these types of concepts to the students: woodworking, 3d printing, CAD, CNC, drafting, robotics, engineering design process,  etc. We are not targeting computer science educators.

Through ExCITE II, you’ll receive comprehensive training to teach AP Computer Science Principles (CSP) byDesign, a course that blends computational thinking with hands-on, project-based learning. This isn’t just professional development, it’s a chance to elevate your teaching, expand your students’ opportunities, and join a vibrant community of educators committed to innovation in STEM education.

As a participant, you’ll receive a full class set of robotics and computer control kits (valued at $2,800) that will remain with your school district after the program. You’ll also earn a $2,000 stipend, with half paid at the start of the school year and the remainder upon completion of your project research notes. All travel, lodging, and meal expenses for in-person events are fully reimbursed, so you can focus on learning and collaboration without financial stress. In addition, you’ll become a certified College Board AP CSP teacher, receive a free one-year ITEEA membership, and qualify for 90 hours of continuing education credit; a powerful boost to your professional credentials.

 If you're ready to bring hands-on, design-based computer science education to your students and grow as a leader in your field, we encourage you to apply today. Learn more and apply here

 

Thank you,
