NIST Summer Institute Applications Open to Middle School Teachers
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is currently accepting applications for its Summer Institute, a two-week professional development workshop from middle school science teachers. The conference is taking place July 8-19, 2013 and will include hands-on activities, lectures, tours, and visits with NIST scientists and engineers in their laboratories. The NIST Summer Institute is designed to increase teachers’ understanding of the subjects they teach, provide materials and resources for the classroom, enhance enthusiasm for science, increase understanding scientific research, and to help teachers develop an on-going network of scientists and engineers at NIST. Applications must be submitted through school district and will not be accepted from individual teachers. The deadline to apply is March 20, 2013. Learn more.
