Robert N. Noyce Center for Learning
In honor of the late Robert N. Noyce, co-founder of Intel Corporation, the Center for Learning supports K-12 education with outstanding professional development opportunities.
Design in Mind Learning™
Design is at the core of all innovation. We believe that focusing on design is a particularly wonderful way to both motivate and support learning about science, technology and innovation; and to develop the habits of mind of an innovator.
Design Challenge Workshops for Teachers
Take the Tech Challenge and join us at RAFT this year for Design Challenge Workshops. Learn how easy it is to get started and inspire your students to sign up for our Annual Tech Challenge.
Design Challenge Curriculum
Design challenges present your students with problems that require them to apply their knowledge just like designers and engineers in the "real world."
Summer Camps
The Tech Summer Camps allow your students to experience The Tech in a whole new way. Brought to you through a unique partnership with Galileo Educational Services, our camps offer high-quality lab facilities, engaging curriculum, and personalized instruction, to create a fun and inspiring way for your students to deepen their interest in science and technology.
District Partnerships
The Tech has partnered with local school districts serving low-income, minority students to increase the frequency and enhance the quality of hands-on, problem-based, design challenge science curriculum for all students.
