Opportunity for STEM Students!
MCC Geology Professors Barone and Colosimo have partnered with SUNY Geneseo, the Noyce Foundation (https://www.nsfnoyce.org/), and the National Science Foundation on a grant-funded program providing STEM students with the opportunity to investigate teaching practices in local K-12 classrooms as well as develop and implement their own lessons with their peers as part of a Noyce Creation Team.
If you are a student in a STEM pathway or major and are interested in potentially teaching in the K-12 school system, please view this brief video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we2qbFMcenA for more information as well as a link to the application https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=qdP_rf8nWUWM7nRdowC5RcExXCPp479JpAy8HubNMk5UQ1RTTkpDN1RFUDZCNEtJMFlJMExHWjVIQSQlQCN0PWcu.
A few additional details about the program:
- Must be a STEM major or be in a STEM pathway
- Can be a full- or part-time student
