Summer programs train teachers in engineering and robotics
Description
Tandon’s Research Experience for Teachers (RET) program, also known as RET Site in Mechatronics and Robotics with Entrepreneurship and Industry Experiences, is a National Science Foundation-sponsored initiative that has been educating educators since 2003. With robotics becoming increasingly integral to STEM curricula, many teachers are seeking ways for both themselves and their students to learn about new opportunities within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
RET is one of three summer programs at NYU Tandon geared towards New York educators hoping to build their expertise in robotics, mechatronics, and entrepreneurship. (The others are Discovery Research, also known as DR K-12, and the new Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers, or ITEST.)
