STEP Training
MIT STEP offers a teacher licensing program that can be done entirely at MIT or in conjunction with courses at Wellesley College. This program licenses students to teach mathematics or science in grades 5-12. The Scheller Teacher Education Program, offered through the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, prepares MIT students to become teachers who are competent to teach in their field, willing to challenge established norms, able to bridge the boundaries among disciplines, and eager to help students develop the desire to question and explore.

For Educators
STEP is actively engaged in many research and development projects, designing and testing new learning technologies for use in formal and informal education. While some projects are in limited testing with partners, others are freely available for all to try and to use (some complete with curriculum and assessment). Find out more about these projects on the projects page.

StarLogo TNG Turns 1.5!
After two years of feature improvements and bug fixes, StarLogo TNG is finally turning 1.5! The easiest and coolest way to program agent-based simulations and 3D video games is now even more powerful, with the addition of several new features including:
- Textured terrain which allows you to draw on the terrain or even even import pictures from files
- Model importing to allow you to import Google Earth models into your projects for use as characters or scenery
- Improved over-the-shoulder camera camera tracking for a better gaming experience
- Revamped parallel execution model for better simulation performance and more accurate results
- Project sharing via the new Community Site (accesible in TNG via the new "Online" menu)
Download it now, check out the new model importing tutorials on the Game Design and Programming page, or head over to the main StarLogo TNG page for more information, release notes, and learning materials.
