ASM annually hosts free teaching camps for high school science teachers that want to learn about materials science and how they can integrate it into their science classes. It comes highly recommended by my boss, who sat in on one of the lessons yesterday and offered pointers on what is relevant in industry and how the science is applied in the real world. Sadly, the Houston area camp is wrapping up this week, and I wasn’t able to interest any of my personal contacts in attending, but there are other camps coming up in a few weeks around the country if any of the science teachers that I know are here are interested. A brochure on the camp can be found here.
