SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

Since 2014, the USPTO has 

conducted a program entitled ‘‘National 

Summer Teacher Institute on 

Innovation, STEM, and Intellectual 

Property.’’ The National Summer 

Teacher Institute (NSTI) is a multi-day 

professional development training 

opportunity open to all K–12 teachers 

nationwide. NSTI is designed to 

increase teachers’ knowledge of making, 

inventing, creating, and protecting 

intellectual property so they can inspire 

the next generation of innovators and 

entrepreneurs. This program accepts 

applications for participation in the 

NSTI. Interested individuals must 

submit an application requesting to 

participate in the program. In the 

application, applicants must certify that 

they are teachers with at least 3 years’ 

experience; identify STEM related fields 

they have taught in the last year; 

identify STEM related fields they plan 

to teach in the upcoming year; and 

acknowledge their commitment to 

incorporate the learnings from the NSTI 

into their curriculum, where applicable, 

and cooperate with sharing lessons and 

outcomes with teachers and the USPTO. 

The NSTI participants have included 

teachers in STEM, innovation, 

entrepreneurship, and related fields 

who will learn about innovative 

strategies to help increase student 

learning and achievement in these fields 

together with elements of Intellectual 

Property (IP) and invention education. 

Outside scientists, engineers, inventors, 

creators, and entrepreneurs are among 

the presenters and workshop leads. 

Attendees participate in field trips (e.g. 

to NASA, Energy, National Labs) and 

have opportunities for networking with 

other educators and invited experts. 

The USPTO also conducts webinars 

and workshops for K–12 educators in 

conjunction with or subsequent to the 

NSTI to provide information on IP, 

invention, and STEM topics of interest 

to K–12 educators. In light of the 

pandemic, the NSTI and some of the 

workshops may take place in virtual 

environments. Workshops will be 

available for educators with less than 3 

years of experience, pre-service 

teachers, higher education faculty, home 

school, and informal educators. USPTO 

plans to conduct surveys on the NSTI, 

workshops, and the webinars in order to 

gain useful feedback from program 

participants.
