Research Experiences for Teachers (RET)
The RET program invites K-12 and community college teachers from North Carolina to spend five weeks working with scientists and researchers on the campus of one of our participating institutions (Duke, NC A&T University, or UNC-Charlotte).
During the program, participants will take part in and learn about research on various aspects of the microbiomes of the built environment and develop age-appropriate lesson plans based on PreMiEr research and their experiences.
The SciMatch program accepts applications from middle school teachers in North Carolina who would like to have a scientist visit with their class.
NCSciFest staff then works to find STEM professionals passionate about outreach to pair up with teachers. These scientists receive specialized communication training before the visit.
