Teacher Training

We help teachers bring more STEM into their classrooms with hands-on support! The Aurora Research Institute’s STEM Outreach team offers interactive workshops and one-on-one training to share fun, easy-to-run STEM activities. We also lend kits and equipment through our STEM Gear Loan Program, so teachers can easily bring what they’ve learned into their own classrooms. Whether you’re new to STEM or looking for fresh ideas, we’re here to help you get started. Contact us today!
