Program Staffing

WMSI Instructors: Our professional instructors bring a rich array of teaching experiences, as well as backgrounds in life, earth, and physical sciences. WMSI instructors will work to engage every student during a program, lending real-time and assistance and expertise for students and their projects.

Youth Instructors: WMSI staff will work with your school staff to recruit local middle and high school students to assist with program instruction and student mentorship. WMSI instructors can provide separate leadership trainings for these youth instructors (“blue shirts”), who will also benefit from time spent with engaging STEM tools and concepts!

On-site Coordinators: WMSI staff will work directly with designated staff at your school. These On-site Coordinators serve a vital role in recruiting students and youth instructors, as well as managing classroom logistics.
