Make This The Year You Attend Summer Courses!

Exciting things are on the horizon with Summer Courses! You can test our new AR and learn about its applications in the classroom. Attending Modeling the Molecular World or any of our summer courses from past years enables you to qualify for future grant-supported research projects. So, even if you've attended courses in the past, there are plenty of reasons to come back to Milwaukee this summer. Sign up today!

The 3DMD Model Teachers^© Program

As a Longmount High School science teacher and a long-time collaborator with us, 3DMD Model Teacher Chris Chou is someone we are grateful to work with! She is a member of the Student Modeling Packs and Augmented Reality Development advisory groups and has presented for us at CASE 2020 and 2021, NSTA ENGAGE 2020, and our Webinar Series in 2021. Chris has been teaching for 19 years and was awarded the 2022 Boettcher Foundation Teacher Recognition Award. Thank you Chris, and we look forward to continuing to collaborate with you!

Interested in Joining This Amazing Community of Educators?

Our 3DMD Model Teachers© are an exclusive group of ambassadors for the science and pedagogy of using models in the classroom. These exemplary teachers volunteer their time to share their expertise, passion, and innovative strategies for teaching with models in a variety of ways, from facilitating professional learning sessions to developing classroom activities and materials. 3DMD Model Teachers© have all experienced at least one summer course at 3D Molecular Designs in Milwaukee, so if you're interested and haven't attended a summer course yet, sign up today!
