MITS promotes high quality, inquiry-based, hands-on science, technology and engineering education through collaborations of informal education institutions (museums, aquarium, nature centers and other non-profit organizations) and formal education institutions (colleges, universities, and K-12 schools.)

MITS offers a diversity of programming and resources for K-12 educators through collaboration with its partner organizations. MITS also provides professional development programs for informal educators through a professional development seminar series and produces resource publications for educators.

We provide programs to enhance inquiry-based, hands-on teaching of STEM:

• Summer Institutes for elementary, middle and high school educators.
• Professional Development Seminars for informal educators.
• Professional Development Workshops for K-12 educators and school systems.
• Science is Elementary and other publications.
