*From STEM to Stern: Inquiry-based Science Investigations for High School
Classrooms*

Monday - Friday, July 11th-15th, 8:30 am - 3:30 pm

 During a MITS Summer Institute educators at MITS partner institutions work
together to offer a professional development opportunity that combines the
experience of participating in both content and skill development sessions
taught by professional educators, scientists and other content experts.
Daily activities include: sampling trips aboard research vessels,
behind-the-scenes tours of facilities, introductions to resource centers,
participation in simulations, modeling of inquiry-based activities, and
more. Days include a balance of indoor, classroom-based components and
outdoor, field experiences. All the activities are linked to State
Frameworks.  Earn PDPs or Graduate credit.
