Student Researcher Workshops Our student workshops are facilitated by experienced STEM educators at Explora Science Center...one of our area community partner organizations!
Advancing Science (STEM) Research Teaching or ASRT for short!
ASRT Training Here are some of our cohort working hard and absorbing A LOT of great information. Our facilitator, Michael Blueglass, gave the group hundreds of amazing resources immediately useable in their classrooms and research programs.
ASRT 2022 NM COHORT Here's the whole gang! Our cohort consisted of MS & HS teachers from Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Los Lunas, Belen, Melrose, Bloomfield/Farmington, & Mescalero.
Student Researcher Workshop Our workshops are an awesome way for students to explore how research projects work, think about what they're interested in knowing more about, and introduce them to STEM research competitions.
