For Teachers
We offer development programs and resources to help K-12 science teachers grow professionally and better serve their students. Also see our For Students page for science activities and other resources.
Professional Development
American Association of Physics Teachers Spring Meeting
The Magnet Lab and The Florida State University Physics Department are proud to host the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) regional spring meeting in Tallahassee on Friday and Saturday, April 16-17.
Teacher Workshops
Our workshops provide K-12 science educators practice with hands-on, inquiry-based activities.
Research Experiences for Teachers (RET)
This six-week summer residential program gives K-12 teachers the chance to do real-world research.
Project MagLab Recertification
Science teachers seeking recertification in Florida will find helpful resources here pertaining to magnets and electricity.
Ambassador Program
This program brings together in a single network more than 100 teachers and administrators from across North Florida and South Georgia.
Summer Energy Program
High school students and teachers conduct research and learn about power grids, environmentally responsible power systems, renewable energy, and current and future power delivery systems. Hosted at Florida State University's Center for Advanced Power Systems and the Mag Lab, the program is part of an initiative by the Future Renewable Electric Energy Delivery and Management (FREEDM) Systems Center to help develop a diverse group of adaptive, creative, globally connected and innovative students for the workforce.
