We are excited to share with you a great opportunity we have for virtual, free, year-long STEM professional development focused on learning more about integrating STEM, problem-based learning, and our free STEM Road Map curriculum published by NSTA!
We are happy to introduce the STEM Boot Camp Academy - designed and delivered by the authors of the STEM Road Map curriculum series published by NSTA. Participants in this PD will receive FREE PD, one FREE STEM Road Map curriculum book, and a year-long opportunity to work with teachers across the U.S. to learn how to implement integrated STEM in their middle and high school classrooms.
You will receive support to develop YOUR OWN, integrated STEM PBL unit, aligned with your standards and couched in your local context or a global problem of interest to your students.
The program includes 70 total hours of professional development (you will have this documented in your completion certificate) – spread across the 2022-23 school year. There will be one three-hour meeting each month in the evening (total of 30 hours), as well as an estimated 3 hours each month of independent work (30 hours), and participation in the STEM Boot Camp Academy Showcase in June 2023 (8 hours) dates TBD.
Participants will receive a copy of one of the STEM Road Map curriculum books - see info here on NSTA website:

Monthly sessions include both east and west coast options with start times of 3:30 p.m. EST and 7:30 p.m. EST.
Culminating EventThe STEM Boot Camp Academy participating teachers will showcase their work in the STEM Boot Camp Academy Summer Session Showcase in June 2023, a two-part virtual conference where teachers will share posters/presentations of their developed curriculum and artifacts from using this with their students.All teachers who complete the STEM Boot Camp Professional Development program will receive a certificate of completion and digital badge they can include in their online profiles. Developed curricula from STEM Boot Camp Participants will be made available to all participants through an online gallery (using Google Drive folder).
