Summer Educator Development Program
We provide secondary school teachers with a FREE 2-week intensive summer course. Teachers will learn about space weather and how to build a magnetometer. Upon completion, the UAF team offers support for teachers who wish to continue the SWUG program with their students. Laboratory equipment and magnetometer kits are provided as a part of the program. If you are interested in the educator development program, please register using this link https://forms.gle/RgYh3VDDm3QxuyKLA. The free teacher program qualifies for continuing education units applicable toward recertification. For further questions and information, please contact Dr. Ozturk at dsozturk@alaska.edu.
