Project Change: STEM Teachers @ Tech Day

*********************************
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

Are you looking for a way to move beyond the standards and integrate STEM connections into your curriculum? Science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) teachers have the challenge of engaging and preparing their students for post secondary education or the workforce, thus providing students with opportunities to experience real-world applications of the curriculum is more important than ever. Do you thirst for more knowledge to better connect and communicate to your class of future scientists, technologists, engineers, and mathematics?
