CIVS Showcase to ASM Materials Camp for Teachers

On June 26, ASM Materials Camp for Teachers had a great time at CIVS to explore new digital technologies and their applications in industries and education. CIVS Associate Director for Operations, Armin Silaen and CIVS Senior Research Engineer, Kyle Toth presented CIVS overview and projects in CIVS’s newly renovated Immersive Theater. The teachers also were given demonstrations of AR and VR projects in the CIVS visualization lab.

The ASM Materials Camp for Teachers is led by Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering, Harvey Abramowitz. ASM Materials Camp for Teachers is a free, week-long, idea-generating workshop introducing teachers to methods that make math and core science principles more enticing and relevant to their middle and high school students. Materials topics are great motivators in any engineering, technology or science course as students learn concepts that are reflected in their everyday lives. The curriculum used in this camp is designed by the ASM Education Foundation, aligned with Next Generation Standards (NGSS), used annually by over 40 Camps in North America and taught by Master Teachers trained by ASM Education Foundation.
