As an educator dedicated to fostering STEM curiosity in young learners, ARL IGNITE invites you to collaborate with us in delivering transformative, hands-on experiences for middle and high school students. Our programs, led by Army Research Laboratory (ARL) scientists and engineers, provide a unique platform for teachers, professors, and education professionals to integrate real-world Army research into classroom and summer learning.
- Lead and Co-Develop Modules: Design and teach age-appropriate STEM activities, drawing from ARL’s expertise in areas like unmanned aerial systems, machine learning, and cybersecurity to create engaging curricula.
- Facilitate Immersive Programs: Guide students through interactive sessions at our state-of-the-art facilities, such as the CONVERGE Innovation Center in Maryland or ARL West in California, where theory meets practical application.
- Professional Development: Access training, resources, and networking opportunities with ARL experts to enhance your own teaching practices and stay at the forefront of STEM education trends.
We value educators who bring diverse perspectives and a commitment to inclusive learning. By joining ARL IGNITE, you’ll help bridge the gap between academic concepts and military innovation, preparing students for careers in science, technology, engineering, and math. Our programs emphasize problem-solving, teamwork, and ethical considerations in STEM, aligning with national education standards.
Opportunities are available year-round, with a focus on summer intensive programs like GEMS II and III. Whether you’re a K-12 teacher, community college instructor, or university faculty member, your expertise can make a lasting impact.
Contact us to discuss partnerships, volunteer roles, or professional development workshops. Together, let’s ignite a passion for STEM in the leaders of tomorrow!
