Siemens STEM Academy

 

Siemens, working in partnership with Oak Ridge Associated Universities, Discovery Education, and the College Board, has announced the launch of a nationwide initiative, the Siemens STEM Academy to promote teacher professional development for STEM.  

One of the four primary launch components is the Siemens STEM Institute, a week-long STEM immersion program that will enable 50 selected teachers to gather and engage with today's critical science thinkers and other peers across the nation and visit leading institutions to see real-world applications of STEM subject matters.  In addition, the Institute also will include monthly professional development opportunities, support, and additional tools and resources designed to further inspire student achievement in STEM education.
