Summer research opportunities for high school science and mathematics teachers: Two experienced STEM teachers will be selected from high schools to participate in research with UCO faculty during the month of July (Mondays through Thursdays, July 5th through 28th, 2011). The teachers work alongside the Summer Bridge participants and faculty mentors to gain research experience. These experiences gained by the teachers are valuable for integration into the STEM curricula in their high school classrooms. Each STEM teacher participant will receive a $2,000 stipend.
