DTEACh Teacher Training
DTEACh offers a number of professional development oportunities for K-12 educators interested in integrating engineering design methods into their classroom curricula. Led by DTEACh master teachers and by faculty and graduate students from the Cockrell School of Engineering, these programs focus on empowering teachers to engage their students in new and exciting ways.
Summer Institutes
The DTEACh Summer Institutes introduce K-12 educators to engineering design and how it may be used to effectively integrate math and science in the classroom. From 1992 to 2000, these sessions taught educators about topics in engineering fundamentals. Since 2000, the Institutes have have focused on Robotics and Automation using LEGO MINDSTORMS technology.

Meetings of the Minds
Once per semester during the academic year, we offer alumni of our Summer Institutes the opportunity to spend a half-day working with fellow DTEAChers on classroom integration, classroom management, and other issues of interest to the DTEACh community.
Advanced Training Sessions
Once per semester during the academic year, we offer DTEAChers the opportunity to build their LEGO MINDSTORMS knowledge and skill base at a half-day advanced training session.
