Secondary school science, technology, and mathematics teachers are invited to participate in a six week summer research program sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the University of Delaware. Benefits to teachers include: - An immersive research experience with hands on laboratory work that earns three University credits and is supported by a $4800 Research Fellowship.
- Broad exposure to nature inspired engineering in areas such as biomedical imaging, tissue engineering, bio-drug delivery, natural fiber composites, groundwater system modeling, solar power, robotic flying insects, and bio-sensors for disease management.
- New skills development for online collaborations and translating research experiences into classroom activities.
- Academic year follow-up opportunities with University faculty, fellow participants, and a growing online community of NISE focused researchers and teachers.
We look forward to seeing you in the laboratory! |
