This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $599,919 to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) will support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) site focused on integrating STEM education around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The RET site will provide six-week summer research experiences for four pre-service and four in-service high school STEM teachers from high-needs school districts. Participants will work with WPI faculty mentors on research projects tied to areas such as healthy lives, quality education, clean energy, responsible consumption, and climate action. The teachers will develop integrated STEM lesson plans based on their research and share them with broader audiences. This project aims to build the capacity of STEM educators, engage students in real-world problem-solving, and help prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers. The award period runs from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2027.
