3M TWIST

(Teachers Working in Science and Technology)

The 3M TWIST program allows middle and high school math, science, and technology teachers to spend six weeks during the summer working closely with a 3M host on an actual 3M research project. The objective is to provide active and challenging technical experiences for teachers in an industrial setting. TWIST is based on the idea that the way to learn science is to do science – an axiom that applies as much to teachers as it does to their students.

This program is offered in partnership with the Minnesota High Technology Foundation.

Geographical restrictions:
Limited to selected school districts in Twin Cities/western Wisconsin and near participating 3M locations in Minnesota, South Dakota, Texas, Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, and Connecticut.
