Professional Learning
Join us to connect with current science content and education pedagogy throughout the year. Online or in-person, you’ll learn a lot, have fun, and become part of a network of dedicated educators. Explore our offerings below.
The Power of Modeling
Physical and conceptual models provide experiences for inquiry and provoke student questions. These questions invite conversations, revisions, and investigations. Grappling with complexity through modeling can make the difference between a student struggling and that ear-to-ear grin when they “get” it!
Models give words meaning.
We have seen firsthand the power of three dimensional models in making complex molecular concepts, not just accessible, but exciting. Learning how to engage students in modeling changes teachers. And when teachers use models in the classroom, learning is truly transformational.
Summer Courses
Don’t miss out on these unique and impactful courses for science educators! Explore how to engage your students with innovative models and effective learning strategies. You will leave inspired, connected to a community of educators, and ready to use kits and models for your classroom.
Courses are held at 3D Molecular Designs in downtown Milwaukee and within blocks of the Lake Michigan lakefront and the city's museums.
