The Worcester Center for Crafts and WPI have joined together in a cooperative effort to create a rich environment for inquisitive, creative and active youngsters ages 6 to 12. Project Summer Workshops Offered in 4 U.S. cities this summer, the Providence, Rhode Island workshop is jointly hosted by WPI and Brown University. This workshop introduces high school computer science, math, and science teachers to a modern computing curriculum that uses computing as a tool to enhance problem-solving skills across disciplines. The workshops train teachers to use this award-winning curriculum, which has been adopted by schools both nationally and internationally. The workshops and all supporting curricular materials are free.
Additional details are on the workshop web site.
WPI's Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science is offering workshops for middle and high school teachers. The workshop is sponsored by the Flinn Scientific Foundation, a non-profit organization, and is modeled after the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation Torch Program. The T 3 Environmental Science Institute is a three-day workshop for middle and high school teachers seeking to develop skills in the use and application of graphing calculators and CBL 2 equipment to study the local environment. The primary focus is on the use of these tools to enhance the teacher's curriculum. Plus features to analyze data.
