In partnership with the Siemens Foundation, we are thrilled to announce the Siemens STEM Academy. It is a multi-faceted program that includes:
a premier on-line community designed exclusively to foster STEM achievement through the sharing of best practices
a monthly webinar series that will feature today’s leading scientists, academics, and personalities such as Dr. Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist and host of Science Channel’s Sci Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible, to excite students and provide teachers with actionable recommendations for integrating STEM into the classroom
a week-long STEM immersion program that will enable 50 select teachers to meet in Washington, D.C. to engage with today’s critical science thinkers and other peers from across the nation and visit leading institutions to see real-world applications of STEM subject matter
a two-week residential professional development program, Siemens Teachers As Researchers (STARS), for select middle school and high school teachers in which teachers engage in mentored research projects with top scientists and researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, TN
Access the Exploring Discovery Education Tutorials within Professional Development (accessible after logging in)
Access the new STEM Connect resources as well as Discovery Calendar, Discovery Interactive Atlas, ReadyZone Continuity of Learning, Lesson Plan Library, and Thematic Focus Library within the Teacher Center.
Join us Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at 4:00pm ET for the Siemens STEM Academy webinar.
The Siemens STEM Academy, an online portal with a wealth of STEM resources, presents STEM Spotlight webinar with Dr. Michio Kaku, Host of Science Channel’s Sci Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible.
Inspire your students! Register to hear Dr. Michio Kaku, host of Science Channel’s “Sci Fi Science: Physics of the Impossible”, theoretical physicist, best selling author and co-creator of string field theory, talk about the various science topics covered in his television show. “Physics of the Impossible” takes viewers to the frontiers of science with an authoritative exploration of the world of phasers, force fields, teleportation, time travel, and more. Dr. Kaku investigates the physics behind some of science fiction’s wildest offerings and concludes that many of the technologies once thought impossible may actually be inevitable.
Don’t miss this exciting event on January 19, 2010 at 4pm EST. Sign up today!
