Physics Opportunity with Stipend

Hi All, 

Hope your summer is going well. I'm forwarding this from Danel Hogan, our local Einstein Fellow and Science Education organizer. If you can get to Chicago, it's a great opportunity to work at Fermilab with the QuarkNet educational initiative.

Best,
Karie

Karie-
There are still a few spots left in this PD in Chicago. I know it is a long shot for our folks here but someone might have family there or just be really interested in this opportunity. Can you please pass it along to the TAPT group?
Grateful,
DaNel


Hope this blast E-mail finds you enjoying some well-deserved summertime! While this communication is directed mainly to Physics teachers, (or more loosely defined, "Teachers of Physics") the hope is that---if you cannot take advantage of this unique offer yourself---possibly you will pass on the information to your Science colleagues back at your respective schools.

Greetings, Science Teachers!

We are members of the Fermilab/University of Chicago QuarkNet Center and among the things we do is host a summer workshop for high school teachers of physics like you. Please consider this your personal invitation to our workshop this summer. This year we had about 100 applicants for 4 student research positions. We are excited by the amount of interest in the program and appreciate your continued support!

Workshop Description:
Title: QuarkNet Workshop: Teaching with Data
Description: Activities will focus on research data. Participants will work with scientists from Fermilab and University of Chicago to look at the research projects done by our QuarkNet students, and transform those ideas into student learning at their schools.
Dates: July 18th, July 19th, July 20th
Cost: $0
Stipend: $300 for full attendance
ISBE Recertification: 16.5 PDH's


Fermilab educator workshops provide K–12 teachers with proven classroom activities and strategies for teaching challenging topics in an engaging way.
