This NIST grant is designed to provide an enriching professional development opportunity for U.S. middle school science teachers. Through the NIST Summer Institute Program, selected educators, nominated by eligible public school districts and accredited private institutions, will gain invaluable hands-on experience. Participants will engage in a series of activities including practical experiments, informative lectures, comprehensive facility tours, and direct interactions with leading NIST scientists and engineers. The program, hosted at the NIST Campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland, from July 7-18, 2014, aims to deepen teachers’ understanding of scientific principles and research applications. This initiative empowers educators to enhance their classroom instruction and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers.
