2023 Advanced Materials Research Experiences for Teachers

Our research program is open to K-12 and junior/community college educators focused on STEM who are citizens or permanent residents of the US or US territories. Join our team of education experts to develop projects and modules that can translate to your classroom and dovetail with the current California Science Education Standards.

In this program, extensive training and mentoring in cutting-edge materials science research is accompanied by weekly research seminars, industrial field trips, professional development workshops, and networking/social activities. RET trainees will assist with development of one or more of the MRSEC materials science educational modules.

We focus on: PREDICTIVE ASSEMBLY - Using computational models to predict and guide the self-assembly of materials from the nano- to meso-scale ENGINEERED LIVING MATERIALS - Utilizing genetic engineering and synthetic biology to create soft materials
