The Manchester Tech for Teachers Institute is a dynamic, paid professional development program open to middle and high school teachers from across all STEM subject areas in the Manchester region. The focus of the program is two-fold: Building knowledge of regenerative medicine and biofabrication and the transformation of instructional practice through project-based learning.
The two-week program is open to both school-based teams and individuals. Upon completion, participants will receive a $1,500 award, CEUs, classroom supplies and ongoing support from UNH faculty and graduate students. Space is limited this year to 12 participants.
