The Nebraska Nanoscale Facility is offering research experiences for teachers this summer.
The first is a four-day virtual workshop called NanoSIMST, which is paid and open to middle school science teachers and runs June 14-17. https://nanoscale.unl.edu/nanosimst
The other opportunity is the Summer RET program for high school and community college science teachers. This is a paid, six-week research internship with the NNCI groups in several departments on campus. The teachers will be chosen by a lab, perform a research project with them, and then develop a lesson to be used in their classroom the next school year. This grant also includes a paid trip to the national NSTA meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, next year. https://nanoscale.unl.edu/ret
Registration for both events ends April 16. They will take up to 10 teachers for the NanoSIMST, and three openings left for the RET.
