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.

2011 Introduction to Programming in StarLogo TNG Workshop
Introduction to Programming in StarLogo TNG
Sign Up! Rolling admission until the course is full
In this fun, intensive, hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to program 3D games and science simulation models using StarLogo TNG, an educational software tool with a graphical programming interface. If you have never programmed before, this workshop will be a great introduction. For people with prior programming experience, this workshop will provide you with an easy-to-use, powerful programming tool to add to your collection.
We will organize participants by experience level so that you will work with others with similar levels of experience and be able to move through the activities at a pace you're comfortable with. A team of facilitators will be able to answer any questions and will help to make sure the entire workshop is fun and valuable for all participants.
The workshop is FREE and open-admission, meaning that there is no selection process. However, advanced sign-up is required. The workshop is intended for educators, parents, and researchers, NOT school-age students. Please contact us if you have any questions about who is eligible to attend.
Please bring a laptop with StarLogo TNG already installed on it. If you do not have a laptop capable of running StarLogo TNG, please contact us; we will have a LIMITED number of loaner laptops available for the workshop.
