AI questions? Bring them.

Where could AI help your teaching—and where does it need a closer look?

Harnessing AI for Educators is a free working group for trying practical tools and discussing responsible classroom use with colleagues. Educators at every experience level are welcome.

The group’s regular schedule is the third Thursday, 7–8 PM Eastern. Sign up for confirmed meeting information.

Physics is better together.

A lab that needs a fresh approach. A resource worth sharing. A question about the new curriculum.

Bring it to the Physics Teachers Working Group, a free community for educators teaching Regents, AP, IB, and general physics.

The 2026/27 schedule is the second Wednesday of the month, 7–8 PM Eastern. Sign up to receive confirmed meeting dates, format, and joining details.

Teachers learn when they lead, too.

Sharing your practice can change your own teaching.

In this interview from Summer STEM Institute 2026, Jason Klein reflects on learning with educators as both a participant and a workshop leader.

As you plan the coming week, what is one strategy you could share with a colleague—and one question you could bring to them?

One week until the bird walk.

Next Saturday, take your professional learning outdoors. Join our Central Park bird walk for teachers on October 17 and practice identifying birds by what you see and hear.

Bring binoculars if you have them, walking shoes, water, and weather-appropriate layers. Meet at Central Park West & West 103rd Street at 8:15 AM; we set out at 8:30 AM.

3.5 CTLE hours. Check the event page for registration and weather updates.

Ghost particles. Real discovery. 👻🧊✨

Neutrinos are famously difficult to detect. So how do you find them? Look for the clues they leave behind.

At the South Pole, IceCube's sensors record light from particles produced when neutrinos interact with matter. Those signals help scientists investigate the universe.

STEMteachersNYC celebrates 2026 Nobel Prize in Physics laureate Francis Halzen, who helped conceive and lead IceCube, and the international collaboration behind its discoveries.

Classroom challenge: what evidence would convince your students that something hard to see is really there?

Could this idea work with your students?

A workshop may focus on one grade level, but its teaching approaches can open possibilities for others.

In this Summer STEM Institute 2026 interview, Ava Kerr shares how she saw ways to adapt a Regents-focused experience for middle school learners.

What is a teaching idea you have adapted for a different age group?

Tiny algae. Big brain science. 🧠💡

How did a question about algae help scientists investigate the brain?

Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel co-discovered light-gated channels in algae. Karl Deisseroth used light-sensitive proteins to control nerve-cell activity. Their connected discoveries helped establish optogenetics: combining light and genetic techniques to study how cells work.

STEMteachersNYC celebrates Hegemann, Nagel, and Deisseroth, who share the 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Teachers: what unexpected connection would make your students ask, “Wait…how does THAT work?”

Turn curiosity into a testable question.

Your students have questions. How do you help them choose one they can investigate?

Join Tracy LaGrassa for From Classroom to Research Lab: Generating Testable Research Questions! Explore the step from a broad idea to a question that can guide a student research project.

Saturday, October 24 • 10:30 AM–12:30 PM • Virtual • 2 CTLE hours.

Who is in your teaching corner?

Planning a lesson gets easier when you have people to think it through with. In this interview from our Summer STEM Institute 2026, Chris Joya reflects on the value of exchanging ideas and classroom experience with fellow teachers.

What is one teaching question you would like to work through with a colleague this week?
