The NIST RET will allow the selected teachers to participate in scientific research with NIST scientists and engineers at the NIST Campus in Gaithersburg, Maryland, that will encourage the teachers to inspire their students to pursue careers in fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). The selected teachers will be required to attend the NIST RET during the summer of 2011 (exact dates to be decided by the teachers and scientists).
