Join on July 15 at 12:00 PM EST for a special National AI Consortium call to learn about our newest skilling pathway in collaboration with AWS, launching this summer. This online pathway will equip both faculty and students with hands-on experience in Generative AI, offering content for all skill levels—from prompt engineering basics to building enterprise-level applications. Get a preview of what’s available for the 2025–2026 academic year, explore real-world use cases, and receive launch and access details.

The goal of the STEM Educator Institutes is to provide STEM Educators with renewable energy lessons, classroom equipment, and a unique hands-on learning experience to take back to their students. The events are funded by the CREATE Energy NSF ATE National Center. Any STEM educator of middle school through college is invited to apply.

The Central Carolina Energy Institute Includes:

• Hotel accommodations for two nights (Tuesday and Wednesday)
• Lunch provided each day 
• $575 stipend paid to each participant upon completion of the institute (for travel and meal expenses)
• Equipment awards valued at up to $1200 available to each participant funded by the CREATE Energy NSF ATE National Center

This workshop empowers university, community college, and high school faculty, staff, counselors, and academic advisors with the knowledge and tools to effectively integrate AI into their teaching practices and curriculum development. Participants will explore practical applications of AI, including lesson planning, designing engaging and interactive content, creating dynamic assessments, and customizing individualized student learning experiences. Additionally, the workshop will highlight how to enable students to use AI in ethical and productive ways across various disciplines.

Through hands-on activities, collaborative projects, and real-world examples, faculty will gain a deeper understanding of AI’s transformative role in education. They will also explore new forms of student engagement, ensuring responsible AI use in both teaching and learning environments. This workshop prepares educators to harness AI to enhance classroom instruction, streamline administrative tasks, and equip students with the skills needed to navigate an AI-driven future.

Supported by the National Science Foundation’s Advanced Technological Education (NSF ATE) program, HI-TEC is a national conference on advanced technological education where secondary and postsecondary educators, counselors, industry professionals, trade organizations, and technicians can update their knowledge and skills. Charged with preparing America’s skilled technical workforce, the event focuses on the preparation needed by the existing and future workforce for companies in the high-tech sectors that drive our nation’s economy.

This summer MNT-EC is again offering a two-day workshop in partnership with the University of Minnesota – Environmental Health Sciences Division. 8:30am to 4:30pm Central Time. Topics currently planned for each day:

1. Occupational Hygiene Principles Applied to MNT
2. Measurement of Airborne and Colloidal MNT Particles
3. Preventing Exposures to MNT Particles
4. Practical Applications of MNT Health and Safety Principles
