Here we are, folks, with the 2026 ASM material science teacher camp schedule.
Through the teacher camps, ASM Materials Education Foundation offers a week of professional development focused on five goals...
- Teachers will grow in their curiosity and enthusiasm for materials science and translate that excitement into engaging learning experiences for their students.
- Teachers will select and adapt labs and demonstrations from camp that can be integrated into their existing classroom curriculum.
- Teachers will have the opportunity to observe, explore, and practice a variety of teaching strategies, such as inquiry-based learning, collaborative learning, hands-on experimentation, questioning techniques, and lab management skills, among others.
- Teachers will identify and implement real-world applications of materials science concepts to make lessons more relevant and engaging for students.
- Teachers will establish connections with local ASM chapters, STEM industries, and fellow educators for foster collaboration and professional growth.
Attendees will do roughly thirty labs in the week and see another twenty+ demonstrations connecting material science concepts to the curriculum attendees already teach.
The workshop is free...and some are even provide housing for out of town attendees.
Attendees earn professional development / contact hours.
Attendees can pay for graduate credit hours through University of Missouri - Kansas City ($250 for 2 graduate credit hours).
Plus, it's just lots of fun.
