If selected, preservice teachers will attend the institute (July 6-17), work alongside experienced classroom teachers, and assist in teaching the QUEST summer program for students (concurrently July 13-17).

Preservice teachers also have the option of participating in academic year follow-up sessions and the Science Teachers of Missouri (STOM) Professional Development Conference.
