i-STEM is a summer professional development opportunity for educators (PK-12) working in both classroom and informal settings. All 2021 i-STEM institutes will take place virtually and run for three days. During the Institute, participants attend a strand on project-based, hands-on learning in a chosen content area, as well as general sessions tied to the Institute theme. Each participant will receive a kit worth $200 of instructional materials unique to their strand, so that they can implement what they have learned in their own teaching environments. We have strands for both formal and informal educators (both welcomed), view the full selection of strands on our i-STEM webpage.
