This strand is developed as a component of a NASA Cooperative Project – The Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve STEM Network. Forging a partnership with the Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve, the program aims to:
- develop an overlapping series of STEM engagement efforts to leverage already available NASA Science Mission Directorate (SMD) materials
- provide Idaho teachers and students with access to NASA curricular resources and materials to support their teaching, and ultimately student’s learning of Idaho State Content Standards for Science
- use i-STEM to deliver professional development and resources to the public school system
About i-STEM
i-STEM is a summer professional development opportunity for educators (PK-12) working in both classroom and informal settings. During the Institute, participants attend a strand on project-based, hands-on learning as well as general sessions tied to the Institute. Each participant receives a kit of instructional materials unique to their strand, so that they can implement what they have learned in their own teaching environments.
