Based on their examination of the theme, the 2011 ATEEC Fellows will design problem-based educational activities that emphasize opportunities for student learning not only globally but also within the context of their communities. The activities, which will support national science, math, and technology education standards, will be offered as free downloads to all teachers via www.ateec.org.
