ROSEVILLE, Calif., May 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PASCO Scientific hosts two, three-day intensive summer institutes at their engineering headquarters in Roseville, California. The SPARKvue Summer Institute, designed for teachers of all science disciplines, builds teacher confidence and competence using a combination of PASCO sensors, hands-on labs, and SPARKvue software; and the CapstoneTM Summer Institute hosts physics educators looking to incorporate more data-based investigations into their upper-secondary or university-level physics courses using a combination of PASCO sensors and Capstone software.
“Supporting teacher professional development in science and STEM education is key to student achievement,” says Richard Briscoe, former physics teacher and CEO of PASCO Scientific. “During my teaching days, I learned that when science educators have the opportunity to engage with their peers and to learn new ways of conducting hands-on science experiments, all learners thrive.”
