At camp, you will discover:
- Work hands-on with ceramics, composites, metals and polymers

- Strengthen your STEM curriculum by walking away with fresh ideas and engaging activities to bring back to your students
Calling All Teachers!
ASM Materials for Teachers Camp's week-long program brings together middle and high school teachers looking to reinvigorate their science and math curriculum. Explore what last year's teachers learned.
Good lessons involve real-life connections. (It's great to see how simple experiments) could be connected to real-life problems in order to get kids excited and engaged in understanding these concepts. My biggest takeaway is being excited about making my lessons better, instead of just going through the motions.
