Noyce Microelectronics Master Teacher Fellowship

Funded by the National Science Foundation and supported by SCALE K-12, the Noyce Microelectronics (ME) Master Teacher Fellowship at Purdue University was designed to develop K–12 STEM teacher leaders to meet emerging ME workforce needs.

We partnered with Regional Opportunity Initiatives, Naval Surface Warfare Center – Crane Division, and the Silicon Crossroads Microelectronics Commons Hub to serve four school districts: Washington Community Schools, Lafayette School Corporation, Loogootee Community Schools, and Purdue Polytechnic High Schools.

Eighteen teachers were selected as ME Master Teacher Fellows to lead the integration of ME-focused curricula in high-need schools—sparking student interest in STEM learning and preparing the next generation for careers in the growing ME industry.

Fellow Support: Each ME Master Teacher Fellow will receive a $13,250 annual salary supplement for five years ($66,250 total) in exchange for continued teaching service in their district. Fellows without a master’s degree will be provided support to complete one over four consecutive semesters (summer–fall–spring–summer).
