No research experience is required. All you need is enthusiasm and a desire to learn. See how the science and engineering principles you teach in the classroom are applied in laboratory research. The program includes meetings where you will have a chance to share your experience with fellow teachers and discuss connections between your classroom curriculum and current materials science research in the lab.
Participation in a research poster session in August is required.
Program eligibility:
Middle and high school-level science and engineering teachers at schools within commuting distance of MIT are invited to apply. Housing is not available.
