Teachers will stay on the MTU campus in summer and work with local researchers to learn about the HAWC gamma-ray observatory and its current research goals and challenges. The program goal is a library of prepared activities/lesson plans, including data collected by the HAWC observatory, and a network of interested teachers. Their students will then be able to engage with current research topics and challenges in gamma-ray astronomy and related fields. We will present some of the results of the first phase (the teacher's experience, new lesson plans and activities developed over the first summer) and an outlook towards future plans for the program.
