Innovation Hub Teacher Fellowship

A year-long professional learning program building interdisciplinary, computationally-rich projects centered on student creativity and real-world problem-solving

What is the Innovation Hub Fellowship?

The Innovation Hub Teacher Fellowship Program is a year-long professional learning experience for middle school teachers at Charlottesville Middle School.

Fellows collaboratively design interdisciplinary, computationally-rich projects that center student creativity, real-world problem-solving, and authentic learning experiences.
