About the program

AirUCI Institute has been offering an accredited two-week summer training program for science school teachers since 2005. The program consists of lectures by the AirUCI faculty members in the mornings followed by laboratory or computer work in the afternoons. The lab work primarily focuses on environmental problems. The program features a $1000 stipend, free lunches, and free UCI parking. It is equivalent to six quarter credit units administered through the UCI Extension. To learn more about this program please have a look at the program flier. You may also want to read a presentation about this program made by Prof. Sergey Nizkorodov at the 2008 National Academies' Chemical Sciences Roundtable (CSR) workshop "Strengthening High School Chemistry Education through Teacher Outreach Programs".

Registration for 2009 is now open. To register please fill out this form and mail or fax it back to us. Local teachers from Orange County schools will receive preference. Non-local teachers can participate but they will have to be able to provide their own accommodations and transportation to UCI. Applications from residents of other countries will not be considered.
