Dr. Kennedy was thrilled to learn that the National Science Foundation is funding her team to host 10 high school teachers and community college instructors from South Carolina to conduct research at Clemson University. Each teacher will have agency over their own research project related to the development of advanced manufacturing materials or manufacturing techniques. By participating, the teacher’s confidence about manufacturing, knowledge of new manufacturing opportunities, and the research process is anticipated to increase. At the close of the program, each teacher will be able to convey the research process, the manufacturing landscape within the U.S., manufacturing career opportunities and different educational pathways into manufacturing to their students.
