eCYBERMISSION is an online STEM competition for students in grades 6 to 9. Students work in teams of 2 to 4 under the guidance of a Team Advisor to choose a problem in their community to explore with science or solve with engineering. Throughout the competition, students work on team building and interact with STEM professionals virtually while competing for state, regional, and national awards. eCYBERMISSION supports phenomenon-based learning, directly aligns with Next Generation Science Standards, and is administered by NSTA (National Science Teaching Association).
Visit our website, www.ecybermission.com, to learn more about this no-cost, virtual STEM competition and how it can be incorporated into an existing curriculum.
Start the New Year off by submitting student based projects or receiving feedback to the ones you finished over the holidays!

We are hosting the Annual Molecular Medicine In Action on Sunday, March 6, 2022 with the overall theme focusing on Bench to Bedside. Our program is FREE of charge, sponsored by Lilly Endowment and conducted by Indiana University School of Medicine faculty. Molecular Medicine In Action symposium is a hands-on program for high school students to experience the methods scientists use in unlocking and modifying the genetic code of diseases. You are currently one of our sponsors Sponsors | MMIA (iu.edu), and we would love your help getting the word out to science teachers that are apart of the Hoosier Association of Science Teachers, Inc.
Our overarching goal of the symposium is to increase students’ excitement for science, increase the number of students that ultimately select science as a career choice, and provide hands-on learning in a state-of-the art medical research environment.
We invite you to nominate your sophomore, junior and/or senior high school students to participate in the program, which will provide 50 high school students from across Indiana a half-day full of activities, lectures, career panel discussion, and hands-on at home guide experiment.

In Michigan Virtual’s podcast called “Bright”, they interview teachers located across the state of Michigan who have been doing an outstanding job in dealing with the challenges of the pandemic. We get to hear their stories of how they tried new approaches to reach their students virtually, failed and succeeded in various areas, and we think that now more than ever their stories deserve to be told.
While the podcast interviews educators in Michigan, the content is relevant for anyone involved in K-12 education. The podcast was launched in early 2021 and new episodes are published every 1-2 weeks. Many of the episodes are applicable to current events as well as challenges that students, parents, and educators will face in years to come.
So if you are interested in the podcast, we would certainly appreciate it if you would consider giving it a listen! If you would also consider subscribing via Apple Podcast, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts, we would really appreciate it! Subscribing makes a big difference in helping us promote our episodes to a wider audience.
