Virginia Tech's teacher training on STEM in Abingdon

Virginia Tech Southwest Virginia Higher Education Center recently hosted a Summer STEM Institute (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) for teachers. At the institute, the teachers experimented with activities and technologies that they can use and apply in their classrooms. Dr. Kristy Collins (Kids' Tech University's Vice-President and Registrar) hosted two teacher workshops with the ANDRILL flexhibit curriculum. See here for a Youtube video published by Virginia Tech Outreach and International Affairs.

For educators/teachers interested in learning about the flexhibit curriculum materials (which includes blubber gloves!) and climate literacy see the C2S2 website. Kids' Tech University is hosting the program which consists of two teacher workshops and a Climate Change Student Summit (C2S2). Teachers receive a stipend and CEU's for their participation in the second workshop and bring their students to the summit. Registration can be found on the C2S2 website.
