The Department of Materials Science and Engineering will host the ASM Materials Camp for Teachers at UNT Discovery Park.

This week-long, hands-on lab experience shows educators how to use applied engineering techniques in their classroom. ASM Materials Camp®-Teachers is an idea-generating workshop introducing teachers to methods that make math and core science principles more enticing and relevant to their middle and high school students. Materials topics are great motivators in any engineering, technology or science course as students learn concepts that are reflected in their everyday lives.

  • A $1,200 value, the camp is FREE for attendees. Participants are eligible to receive four (4) Continuing Education Units (CEUs) and can opt for two (2) graduate level credits.(NOTE!  Option for graduate credits is not available for Virtual Materials Camps.)
  • Educators work hands-on with metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, and develop a greater appreciation for the importance of these materials in modern life.
  • Teachers Camp is a proven program that strengthens the curriculum in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
  • Post-camp evaluations reveal that 97% of participants will incorporate the experiments and concepts learned in their classrooms.

Who Should Attend?

  • High School Teachers: Science (especially Chemistry and Physical Science), Engineering, and Industrial/Career and Technical Education
  • Middle School Teachers: Physical Science
  • Pre-Service Science Teachers
  • Art, Math, and Community College Teachers as space allows

Why Attend?

  • Learn how to engage your students using simple, low-cost experiments that you can integrate into your existing lesson plans
  • Help your students discover career opportunities in science and engineering
