MIT Science and Engineering Program for Teachers

​As one of the top engineering schools in the nation, MIT provides top-notch professional development for teachers through a competitive Summer experience for teachers.  Although there is a cost for this program, many states have alumni groups who provide scholarships to cover the cost of tuition and/or travel.  The application deadline is quickly approaching, so if you're interested in participating in the 2018 session, make sure you get started soon!

What is MIT SEAP?
With a heavy dose of the latest and greatest science and engineering research delivered by MIT researchers and lecturers, SEPT reaches teachers in a unique way through a drink of knowledge from the MIT "firehose."  The program captures a snapshot of MIT and delivers it to teachers for one week every summer.

TYPICAL WEEK:

• Daily lectures from MIT scientists on new frontiers in science and engineering research
• Hands-on workshops with Lego DNA, computer games and simulations, and technology developed at MIT
• Tours of labs and demonstrations led by MIT scientists
• Additional exposure to MIT K-12 initiatives for students and teachers
• Community-building among the outstanding group of teachers for which SEPT is known

TWO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TRACKS:
MIT SEAP is offering two tracks of study. Both tracks will participate in the same morning lectures by MIT professors. Afternoon sessions will vary based by track and will be a mix of workshops, experiences, and discussions.

Track 1: "Broadening Participation in STEM" - Focus on increasing participation and supporting success of underrepresented communities in STEM

Track 2: "Bringing Project-Based Learning & Inquiry into STEM Classrooms" - Focus on integrating inquiry-based, student centered learning, voice and choice into curriculum and instruction

REGISTRATION FEE:
Tuition for the week is $1,450.00 per participant which includes:

• Lodging in MIT dormitory housing
• Three meals/day (campus restaurants)
