In this one-day, remotely delivered, immersive, and interactive mini-institute, participants will learn how to use the VisChem Approach. The Approach fosters conceptual understanding of chemistry using dynamic, particle-level animations, combined with constructivist teaching strategies, all informed by a cognitive learning model and the latest research on learning through multimedia.
Participants will also have access to a comprehensive suite of free resources and join the VisChem community of practice through meaningful and supportive engagement with colleagues across the U.S. VisChem Express Institutes are offered from September 2025 to August 2026. Teachers who meet requirements will receive a $500 stipend.
