Welcome

Welcome to the MSU-Wipro Urban STEM Fellowship. Over the next 4 weeks, and over the next year we’ll be working together to develop our capacities for STEM teaching and leadership through our program.

The award winning MAET program has a unique and rigorous approach towards instruction and professional development. Our goal is to support and develop thoughtful, innovative practitioners who integrate content, technology and pedagogy in creative ways. The courses are designed by some of the top faculty in the nation and are taught by instructors who themselves are recognized leaders in the field and are often teachers themselves. We are going to incorporate these principles in this initiative as well.
