NCI Southwest

NCI-SW is partnering with NNCI and Stanford University to offer middle school educators a summer virtual professional development opportunity, NanoSIMST.

Selected teachers in this unique learning experience will be introduced to content-relevant cutting-edge technology and nanoscience concepts that will engage students with real-world problems. Apply to join us this summer as a community of teachers from across the country to learn and play with nanotechnology while getting paid! This workshop is a wonderful opportunity to delve into the nanoworld as a learner and discover resources about high-demand STEM careers for your students.  Teacher kits are provided to engage in hands-on activities during the workshop that can be implemented directly in your classroom. In addition, we host talks and demonstrations from staff scientists and offer the opportunity to use a scanning electron microscope (SEM) remotely. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until April 26, 2024.  The virtual option is fully remote from July 15-19, 2024, 9 am - 2 pm PST / 10 am - 3 pm MST / 12 pm - 5 pm EST.

Information and applications for the 2024 NanoSIMST Virtual Program in partnership with Stanford University can be found here.
