Materials Technology Workshop for High School Science Teachers

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This three year project, sponsored by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne, will provide a four week workshop each year for 25 high school teachers. The workshops will consist of lectures, demonstrations and hands-on laboratories on topics in technology, such as solar cells, superconductors and cement. Both university faculty and industry personnel will conduct the workshops. The modules will then be tested on high schools, after evaluation, and modified if necessary. The modules considered to be the most successful will be punished and disseminated nationally. The matching funds from the schools and the university constitute about 17% of the NSF award.
