STEM Teaching Resources

Each year, Aurora University hosts a free Virtual STEM Teaching Hackathon, allowing district teachers, AU faculty, and AU Noyce Scholars to collaborate and find creative solutions to issues faced by early-career teachers.

Throughout the event, participants can:

  • Identify a problem and flex their problem-solving skills to address it.
  • Hear from a keynote speaker on relevant STEM topics. 
  • Present solutions in a collaborative environment.
  • Connect with local STEM educators and future teachers.
  • Help develop a wealth of resources for the teaching community.

The goals of the Teaching Hackathon include cultivating a STEM education community, “hacking” innovative solutions to STEM classroom challenges in a collaborative format, and sharing the resources developed.
