SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract 

As part of the Maker Fair Initiative, a 

program entitled ‘‘National Teachers’ 

Summer Institute’’ is sponsored by 

USPTO. This program accepts 

applicants for a summer teaching 

workshop. The program receives 

applications from individuals, 

requesting to participate in the Institute, 

who certify that they are educators with 

at least 3 years’ experience. These 

applicants are also required to: 1) Have 

taught in STEM related fields last year, 

2) plan to teach in a STEM related field 

this upcoming year, and 3) to 

acknowledge their commitment to 

incorporate the learnings from the 

Teacher Summer Institute into their 

curriculum, where applicable, and 

cooperate with sharing lessons and 

outcomes with teachers and PTO. This 

information would come in the form of 

both applications and surveys. 

The USPTO seeks to get committed 

educators in science fields to learn 

about innovative strategies to help 

increase student learning and 

achievement in these fields and 

elements of invention and IP. This 

institute will showcase a collaborative 

project of the USPTO and the National 

Science Foundation including an 11 

part video series produced by NBC learn 

with specifically designed lesson plans. 

The agenda would include scientists, 

inventors, and fields trips (i.e., to 

NASA) as well as networking. The 

USPTO may host various webinars in 

conjunction with the Summer Institute. 

USPTO plans to conduct surveys of both 

the Institute and the webinars in order 

to gain useful feedback from program 

participants.
