Features:
• Emphasizing emerging technologies, BATEC Summer Institutes allows faculty to keep
pace with innovation
• Recognized leaders in their fields teach a national audience of high school, two year, and
four year faculty
• The professional development introduces colleagues teaching the same technologies,
facilitating communities of practice
BATEC Summer Institute offers no-cost faculty professional development opportunities in
emerging technologies, trainings usually only available through expensive corporate providers.
In addition to training, BATEC Summer Institute introduces colleagues working in the same
field, enabling networking and future collaboration.
With a goal of building capacity by enabling the creation of new or updating of existing courses
in computing education at the secondary, two year, and four year levels, BATEC Summer
Institute offers trainings spanning many areas of content and levels in computing, focusing on
those intended to introduce computing concepts and computational thinking, those catering to
curriculum updates and emerging technologies, and to areas of increasing demand.
BATEC Summer Institute expanded to the first BATEC National Summer Institute, hosted in
Boston in 2013. The ten intensive train-the-trainer courses were delivered to 140 faculty and
industry, a group representing colleges in Massachusetts, Hawaii and everywhere in between that
together serves approximately 20,000 students per year. All courses ran for one week, allowing
for between 31.5 and 40 classroom hours.
