Dow & AACT Teacher Summit 2015
In July 2015, 23 teachers and seven preservice teachers from the Midland, Michigan, area met for a week of resource creation, collaboration, and professional development. Working in small peer groups and with Dow STEM ambassadors, summit teachers created over 80 new resources for the AACT community.
