QUEST is an institute for elementary and middle school teachers taught by Princeton University faculty and staff and scientists from neighboring institutions. It is designed to enhance teachers' knowledge of science and mathematics through hands-on laboratory experiments and field experiences and to acquaint them with specific ideas and activities to use in their classrooms.

QUEST engages teachers in doing science and math. Participants perform experiments, as well as discuss pedagogy and the underlying content with colleagues and the faculty.  Educators develop skills for teaching inquiry-based science and math. They work in small, informal groups and establish close ties to their colleagues and to the faculty.

At PPPL, we teach a week-long workshop on Energy in the 21st Century.
This session explores the feasibility of alternative energy sources such as solar, fusion, wind and fuel cells.
