Siemens Xcelerator for Education

STEM Educator Training

Our training programs help students develop career-ready critical thinking and problem-solving skills by equipping STEM educators with tools, strategies and confidence to engage students in hands-on, real-world learning.

Upcoming courses

Our STEM training programs for educators are designed to provide you with the tools, strategies and confidence you need to introduce the "E" in STEM and engage your students in hands-on, real-world learning. Our courses are interactive and incorporate project-problem based learning materials that you can share with your students.

All courses are delivered virtually and free of charge for educators. No prior engineering experience is required. Register for a course today to start discovering engineering with us!

A certificate of completion for Continuing Education Units (CEUs) showing hours attended will be provided at the end of each course.

Hour of Engineering

This series of courses will prepare you to implement a variety of learning modules and engineering design challenges that help middle school students understand how engineering shapes the world we live in.

It's awesome to see the things students design, which I would never think of on my own. Siemens curriculum provides the basics of engineering all over, not just in a high school classroom or in a college classroom – it's what real engineers use.
