Teachers from John Tyler and Chapel Hill high schools attended UT Tyler’s first Infinity Summer Institute June 9-13.
“The Infinity Project features a curriculum that helps students understand the real world relevance of engineering, science and math," said Dr. Arun Kulkarni, professor of computer science. “It makes the study of formulas, for example, more interesting than a presentation on a chalkboard." UT Tyler was awarded a $44,000 grant to set up an Infinity Project Center that serves as a professional development site for high school teachers. The center also provides a yearlong technical support for high school classrooms. Doug Rummel from St. Mark’s School of Texas served as the master teacher for the summer institute. Rummel is one of the top Infinity Project instructors in the state.
