Welcome to the Siemens STEM Institute Wiki Page



Fifty educators will be selected as STEM Fellows to attend this all expenses-paid*, week-long professional development experience, hosted at the world headquarters of Discovery Communications, located just outside of our nation’s capitol in Washington D.C. Fellows will be exposed to leading scientists, thought-leaders, personalities and innovators whose work across STEM disciplines shape and define our world today.

The week will be filled with guest speakers at the forefront of STEM, field trips to leading institutions where Fellows will observe real-world applications of STEM subject matter, and opportunities for networking and collaborating with peers from across the nation. In addition to broad-based STEM applications, each Fellow will be assigned to a thematic working group that will provide additional deep-dive exposure.

Each group will make a 5-10 minute presentation on their project via a live webinar in front of Team Leads on __**March 3, April 1 or April 7 at 7pm EST**__. Please access the Google Docs page to sign up your team asap ([] (Under Presentations)). You will need to input your team name and the members of your group. Once you sign up, we will send you the webinar link shortly.
 * NEW:** **Final Project Presentation Information**

We will post all of your final presentations on the Siemens STEM Academy resource page, so that we can share your work with educators around the nation! Please send us your final presentations the day before your presentation so that they can be loaded into the webinar and so that we can post them to the website.
