2. Description of Project
ITSI-SU is a five-year project which will reach three times as many teachers
as its predecessor ITSI in three years for STEM activities using probes and
models to interest students in STEM careers.
• ITSI-SU will reach 264
teachers over the first 3 years.
• Experienced teachers are
selected and trained to be master
teachers for the final 2 years.
• Certified trainers will continue to
recruit teachers with a fee-based
model after the project ends.
• Exemplars will be freely available
from the ITSI-SU website.
