Teacher
Training is a major component of the Infinity Project. We understand
that to effectively teach engineering and advanced technology
at the high school level, teachers must be supplied with more
than an innovative curriculum and modern equipment. Teachers must
also have access to world-class training that directly helps them
teach the material and operate the equipment in a classroom setting.
To
fill this important need, the Infinity Project offers training
for all teachers of the new engineering curriculum by experts
in the curriculum. The teacher training covers the basics of the
course material as well as the basics of the Infinity Technology
Kit.
Our Infinity Training Institute is 40 hours long and conducted
over a one-week period. Our institute has been designed to be
very hands-on for the instructors. And, teachers new to technology
will be given extensive opportunity to work with the equipment
and apply the new material to real problems in a supportive and
fun environment.
