STEM Leaders: Summer Opportunity for Teachers

TEACHERS: Looking for a unique summer opportunity to add to your professional portfolio?

This summer, teams of 11th and 12th grade students and teachers from across St. Clair County will learn and work side-by-side in local businesses and non-profits to solve real challenges or problems the organizations face.  And the competition will be fierce. Do you want to be a part of the action?

Key Components of Challenge4theFuture:

• Relevance - real problems, real businesses, real solutions, real skills
• Experience - new, fun ways to work and learn through involvement and action; teachers and students are problem solvers and designers
• Skills4theFuture - working in teams, students practice skills and teachers learn how to embed them in classroom projects
• Gold Standard Project Based Learning - students drive their learning; facilitated by trained teachers
• Design Thinking - processes and protocols create constraints, leading to innovation and solutions to local problems
• Business and Non-profit Partners - build relationships and learn the ins and outs of an organization by working within their facility, with a skilled liaison

​Who should get involved? High school and middle school teachers who are ready to facilitate relevant project based learning in their classes.
There is no PBL prerequisite; experienced and inexperienced teachers will benefit equally. High school teachers will have priority.
