Youth Engineering Solutions Teacher Educator Institute

Out-of-school time leaders will engage in the Museum of Science, Boston’s Youth Engineering Solutions Out-of-School engineering curriculum as they prepare to lead professional learning sessions for out-of-school educators.

Logo Summer Institute

Beginning in 1980, the Logo Summer Institute was an annual immersion in creative computing held in locations across the USA and abroad. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was transformed into an online event for three years from 2020 through 2022. For 2023 we're reviving the in-person format, while preserving the advantages of the online approach. It will be the best of both worlds - two workshops a week apart. You may sign up for the online workshop, the in-person immersion, or both.
