Based on the success of the program over the last two years, i2 Learning will again be offering immersive project-based STEM programs for 5th — 8th grade students during Massachusetts STEM Week in October 2020.

SCHOOL APPLICATION

If you are interested in bringing the i2 program to your school during Massachusetts STEM Week 2020 please complete the appropriate application form below.

You will be asked to choose the grades in your school you would like to include in the program as well as the number of teachers and students who will participate. There should be at least one lead teacher for every section of up to 25-28 students.

Prior to leading an i2 Mass STEM Week course, teachers who have not previously taught an i2 STEM Week course will attend a two-day professional workshop over the summer in project-based pedagogy and interdisciplinary STEM curriculum.

COURSES

On the last day of Mass STEM Week, students will present their projects and discuss their learning from the week at a showcase to which friends, family and other community members will be invited.

To be clear, i2 Learning’s Mass STEM Week courses will replace all regularly scheduled classes at schools who are participating in the program. This curriculum is designed to be run the entire day, not simply during science class.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Professional Development

Professional development will be open to middle school teachers from all subject areas.

Teachers who attended Professional Development previously for the course they will be teaching do not need to attend again this year. All other teachers are required to attend professional development during summer 2020.

Materials & Supplies

All curriculum, materials and supplies necessary for these courses will be provided to the schools by i2 Learning.
