There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Full Summary:
The Center for Education Integrating Science Mathematics and Computing (CEISMC) at Georgia Tech is recruiting dynamic individuals for our 2019-2020 Innovators-in-Residence Cohort.
Innovators-in-Residence at M.R. Hollis Innovation Academy - Paulette Richards, Rachel Tierney, Ryan Snelling, and Kevin ArneThe Georgia Tech Center for Education Integrating Science Mathematics and Computing (CEISMC) at Georgia Tech is seeking dynamic individuals for its 2019-20 Innovators-in-Residence cohort. Residencies are from June 1, 2019, to May 31, 2020. "Innovators" receive $20 per hour per week including paid training in April 2019.
Innovators will be partnered with teachers at one of metro Atlanta's K-12 schools to develop and implement quality Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Mathematics (STEAM) curriculums. Innovators will work to create student-centered projects, as well as support engaging STEAM-focused afterschool programs.
Although candidates are not required to have any formal background or training in the field of education, they all should have a passion for K-12 STEAM education along with tinkering, designing, inventing, making, and integrating arts into STEM learning. Candidates with a background in Computer-Science or Mathematics are especially encouraged to apply.
To support pedagogical development, Innovators are required to participate in online problem-based learning training, intensive summer professional development. Candidates must be available during school day hours and attend bi-weekly meetings focused on collaboration across the cohort. Each innovator is also required to create a portfolio of the work completed during their residency.
Innovators will be interacting with minors and must adhere to all regulatory compliance issues while working with CEISMC including but not limited to a criminal background check, appropriate pre-screening and training on working with minors.
