UWA Micro credential courses on Teaching Einsteinian Physics
Upon completion, you will get 3 Credit points which will contribute to your future degrees
The first online micro-credential courses on teaching Einsteinian physics to primary and secondary school students will start on 25 July 2022. Teachers will learn modern concepts of space and time, gravity, energy and light through simple fun activities that use toys and models to uncover the basic ideas. They will become proficient with a broad range of classroom activities, and become confident about using them in their classrooms.
Teachers do not need a science degree to discover our best understanding of the universe.
The Einstein-First team would like to invite principals to support their teachers with the fees for this very valuable professional learning experience that will inspire them to make their teaching more fun and engaging for their students.
