The MIT Full STEAM Ahead Educator Immersion Program is an in-person summer enrichment opportunity that combines hands-on exploration, project-based learning principles, and program co-design with the development of a pilot effort that meets the needs of your students.
This program focuses on building the capacities of schools and organizations by working with cohorts of educators from Massachusetts. Beginning with a two-week summer engagement, the FSA team seeks to unpack the lessons learned from Full Steam Ahead and across MIT’s pK-12 community and present these ideas as learning “building blocks” that participating educators will use to develop new programs that they will implement within their classrooms, schools, or organizations. Participants will also be asked to “playtest” a portion of their pilot with peers during the program.
This year’s cohort will also learn design from members of the MIT D-Lab and spend time at FAB26, a conference “of individuals united by a passion for digital fabrication, technology, and innovation,” that is returning to the Boston area for the first time in a decade. Qualifying educators will receive a $2100 stipend for their participation in the two-week summer program, MA Professional Development Points (PDPs), and initial funding of materials for implementing their new programs during the upcoming school year. Transportation may also be partially subsidized for those who take public transportation on the MBTA.
