About us
In collaboration with NEWT, the Rice Office of STEM Engagement offers NEWT RET, a year-long internship with a focus on nanotechnology-enabled water treatment to reinforce the understanding and appreciation of science as a process. Participants observe and actively work in research while developing inquiry-based lesson plans that apply NEWT research, using media and other strategies to bring the laboratory experience to students. Teachers of all subjects and grade levels from the greater Houston, TX; El Paso, TX; or Tempe/Phoenix, AZ areas are welcome to apply, but preference will be given to STEM teachers.
Participants are matched to a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher mentor who can help guide their research.
