STEM Summer Institutes 2023

STEM CERTIFICATE SUMMER INSTITUTES

The STEM Certificate Summer Institute is a grant-funded initiative made possible by generous support from the Martinson Family Foundation for the Department of Educational Technology at New Jersey City University. The Summer Institutes for the STEM Certificate Program offers educational professionals in all disciplines in K-12 an incredible opportunity to engage in dynamic professional development workshops. 

Join us this August for one of our 1-day, hands-on seminars that are designed to prepare teachers, school library media specialists, paraprofessionals, and administrators to develop, deliver, and evaluate standards-based, high-quality STEM learning segments.

Registered participants will enjoy a full, hot breakfast and lunch buffet, afternoon refreshments, and receive a swag bag full of surprises, including a FREE Ozobot Evo starter kit valued at $179.99*! Participants will also receive a Certificate of Attendance to confirm hours of professional learning.

Choose from 2 different dates and locations to fit your summer schedule!
