Summer teacher training program in Environmental Chemistry

Summer teacher training program in Environmental Chemistry for grade 8-12 science teachers is the main outreach effort of the AirUCI team. It is fully sponsored by NSF. This two-week training program is focused on hands-on lab work on selected environmental monitoring problems. Supporting lectures are offered by AirUCI faculty members. Teachers are paid a stipend of $1000 for their participation. The program is limited to 20 teachers on a first-come first-serve basis. Because AirUCI does not cover transportation and living expenses, only local teachers can realistically take advantage of this program. The teacher must be employed by a K-12 state or private school and must be permanent residents or US citizens. Please refer to the class website for more information.
