[Narrator 1]: i-STEM is a gold standard in teacher professional development. It gives teachers the opportunity not only to network with teachers from other districts but they also learn from other educators, learn a new set of skills, and most importantly, they leave with resources tools and materials ready to implement this professional development into their classrooms the very next year.
[Narrator 2]: i-STEM focuses on inquiry based problem-solving and project-based learning on topics of interest to Idaho, its industries, and their needs. Through the generous support of its partners, i-STEM provides these opportunities to teachers at little or no cost. Institute expenses, materials, and college credits are covered.
[Teacher]: All of the knowledge I’ve gained, all the materials I gained, the fact that I haven’t had to pay for anything to be able to do this, is exactly why every teacher should come and do this i-STEM.
[Narrator 2]: In the classrooms of Idaho’s talented teachers, these resources enhance learning and expose students to real-world applications of STEM. Scientists and engineers are the world’s problem solvers and we’ll need more and better-prepared students to solve the challenges of the future. Consider becoming an i-STEM partner and help prepare today’s students to become the scientists, engineers, and inventors of tomorrow.
