MITS Summer Institute

The mission of the Museum Institute for Teaching Science (MITS) is to raise science literacy by improving the quality of elementary and middle school (K-8) teaching in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Science literacy is a critical skill that, if learned at an early age, helps develop critical thinking, reading abilities and computation skills needed to make informed decisions in daily life. America’s science literacy, however, has suffered in recent years, posing a serious risk to the nation as the world leader in innovation and its economic future.
