For the 28th year, the Industry Initiative for Science and Math Education (IISME) in the Silicon Valley offered 165 teachers summer internships to learn how STEM principles taught in the classroom are actually applied, as well as stipends to create new STEM lesson plans that are actually implemented. A few were available in Southern California.
Teachers are "paired with universities and tech companies [such as Agilent and Nvidia] in the valley to give [them] a chance to see how principles and ideas they teach in the classroom are translated into real world products and initiatives." "Kids are really inspired by teachers who have experienced the practical applications and who have worked side-by-side with scientists and engineers who can give them authentic stories," Jennifer Bruckner, IISME Executive Director, says. http://www.mercurynews.com/mike-cassidy/ci_21273923/cassidy-nvidia-agilent-and-other-silicon-valley-tech
Similar opportunities have been provided to teachers locally in the Antelope Valley, notably in the last several years by the Air Force Research Lab at Edwards Air Force Base.
