Students at DC's Whittier Educational Campus with ReSET Volunteer Peter Mehrevari

ReSET volunteer Jenny Tsao shares information below on an on-line training course, free of charge, starting April 7.  While it's oriented towards middle and high schools, I'd like to start a dialogue among ReSET'ers who take the course on ideas for adjusting the content and presentation for elementary schools.  JOhn 

Hi John,

I just wanted to pass you a note that may be of interest to current/future volunteers. I don't know if you've heard of Coursera, but it is a site that offers free online courses on various subjects.

I am enrolled in a course that starts April 7th entitled: Re-Engineering Your Science Curriculum, taught by Exploratorium Teacher Institute.

It is free of charge and there is no obligation to complete the course or even participate. Just thought you might want to pass along information.

That's all!

Jenny

STEM on Steroids



Wow - I didn't know this was happening.  I had to check to make sure it's not April Fool's Day. Feedback?
