Walking beside thousand-year-old burial mounds, flaking raw stone into tools, learning how potsherds tell us about human behavior, and understanding how humans adapt to complex, ever-changing environments¬our 2012 NEH Summer Institute features all this and more.
The Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse will offer a three-week NEH Summer Institute on July 9–27, 2012. This dynamic learning experience for K-12 teachers will explore how Native Americans and Euro-Americans have adapted to the Upper Mississippi River Valley over the past 13,500 years, and how archaeology leads to an understanding of how human cultures change and adapt through time.
The Institute will feature a one-day excavation experience, field trips to archaeological sites, hands-on laboratory and workshop activities, demonstrations, and classroom activities. Individual projects will help participants tailor the content to their own teaching areas. NEH Summer Scholars receive a $2,700 stipend to help offset their expenses.
Application and other information on the Institute will be available online at http://www.uwlax.edu/mvac/neh.htm.
The deadline for applications is March 1, 2012.
Science teachers are invited to participate in eight weeks of laboratory research with some of Northwestern’s leading scientists. Research topics include a wide range of materials science, physics and chemistry areas such as ceramics, nanocomposites, photonics, nanoparticles, and molecular electronics. The program runs from June 18 through August 10, 2012 and carries an $8,500 stipend.
At the end of the eight weeks, the participants not only write a technical paper based on their research, but also develop a curriculum project that they can use in their classrooms. K-12 teachers and community college professors who have a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering are eligible; no prior research experience is necessary. Participants are eligible to receive graduate credits through the National Louis University. The application deadline is March 15, 2012.
