Partnerships for Effective STEM Education

Georgia Universities and Corporations: Collaborating to Impact Science & Mathematics Education

As educators, teachers are often bound to the classroom, unable to experience first-hand the effects and applications of new technology and innovative ideas. The Georgia Intern-Fellowships for Teachers (GIFT) offers teachers the opportunity for exciting summer work experiences in state of the art laboratories rich in applications of mathematics, science and technology. Teachers experience new technologies first hand, work on the leading edge of research, applied science, mathematics, and computing, are immersed in "real world” inquiry, problem-solving, and reasoning. This session will highlight many aspects of this program.
