ASM Materials Education Foundation

ASM Materials Education Foundation The ASM Materials Education Foundation provides for the advancement of scientific and engineering knowledge through its support of education and research.

Supported by individual contributions, the ASM Materials Education Foundation and ASM International collaborate to provide exciting opportunities for young people, encouraging them to pursue careers in materials, science and engineering. Thanks to the hard work on the part of ASM volunteers and staff, the foundation is able to provide exciting opportunities for young people, encouraging them to pu

rsue careers in materials science and engineering. The ASM Materials Education Foundation programs are an investment in the future of materials science and engineering. Programs such as the ASM Materials Camp make a huge impact through in-depth, hands-on demonstrations of what materials engineers do and the high-tech resources that are available to help solve complex problems. It is a great way to get the next generation of engineers and scientists interested and excited about careers in engineering. A recent survey of ASM Materials Camp students shows:

84% of students are enrolled in undergraduate science programs
66% are enrolled in engineering
41% of those students in engineering have selected or are considering materials as a major

The countdown is on where the first week of June officially kicks off the 2026 ASM Materials Camp season in Tucson, AZ and Denton, TX, marking the start of an incredible summer featuring 50 ASM Materials Camps across the country!
We can’t wait to welcome educators for an exciting week of hands-on learning, industry connections, and real-world materials science experiences that they’ll bring back to their classrooms and students. From metals and polymers to ceramics and composites, these teachers are about to discover innovative ways to inspire the next generation of STEM leaders.
Summer + STEM + amazing teachers = the perfect formula for inspiration.
Let the countdown begin!

Materials communities are built through collaboration.

Our Foundation team recently visited Mr. Cardinal's Polymer Class at Barberton High School alongside friends and partners, including an ASM Materials Camp – Teachers alum from the Berkshire Local School District. The class works closely with Akron Rubber Development Laboratory, giving students valuable insight into the real-world applications of polymer science and manufacturing.

The collaboration between teachers, industry professionals and education partners underscores just how powerful collective effort can be in shaping the next generation.

What makes an ASM Materials Camp for Teachers different from every other summer workshop?
• It’s not just professional development, it’s hands-on discovery.
• Teachers don’t just hear about materials science… they do it.
• From metals to polymers to ceramics, educators experience real-world STEM applications.
• They tour facilities, test materials, solve challenges, and leave with classroom-ready lessons that inspire the next generation of innovators.
Because when teachers experience the “wow” of materials science firsthand, students do too.
Our summer professional development camps begin in June! Don’t miss the opportunity to bring real-world STEM into your classroom! Visit us today to learn more and register. www.asmfoundation.org

Just back from NSTA and feeling energized!
We had so many great conversations with educators from across the country. So many teachers shared how much they loved their experience at our ASM Materials Materials Camps over the years, and it was exciting to meet many more who signed up to join us this summer! It’s always inspiring to connect with teachers who are so passionate about bringing materials science into their classrooms and reaching the next generation of innovators.
Grateful for the new connections, the meaningful conversations, and the reminder of how impactful this work truly is. The ASM Foundation is an organization that cares so deeply about supporting educators and students.
