Update! SEA CIRTL Fellows Program

Important update 09/18/23: We have open applications for graduate students in all colleges on campus and extended the application period. 

Calling ALL current graduate students interested in being a SEA CIRTL Fellow for the Summer Enrichment Academy (SEA) and the CIRTL programs at UMBC. SEA provides one-week camps for middle and high school students on the UMBC Campus. These camps help kids to stay engaged, have fun learning new skills and knowledge, and get excited about higher education at UMBC.

These SEA CIRTL Fellows will develop and implement a SEA one (1) week course in an engineering topic of their choice with guided mentorship in Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 and implement the course with SEA in Summer 2024. Fellows will be required to attend a variety of sessions that help them solidify their course ideas, learn about teaching approaches that are accessible and engaging for high school and middle school students, and plan their courses. This will all count toward a CIRTL certificate, which is a nationally recognized teaching certificate! Upon teaching the course in Summer 2024, Fellows will be paid a minimum of $1000/week for 1 or 2 weeks, with an opportunity for more depending on enrollment for the course.

Note: Courses are run as half-day camps for a week (5 days), and Fellows will be able to choose two weeks of these five options:  June 24-28, July 8-12, July 15-19, July 22-26, July 29 – August 2.

Please complete this form by September 18, 2023.
