High School Instructor Summer Seminar

Teachers: What if we told you there’s a place in Laramie, Wyoming, where you get to go back in time and be a student for a few days? It’s real. We call it the “WyoTech Summer Seminar.”

Just like in the good ol’ days, you’ll get to balance your learning (an industry workshop of your choice) with time to trade stories with instructors from all over the country. We’ll even take you around campus and give you a grand tour of Laramie, Wyoming, while you’re here.

It’s a good time, from what the teachers who fill up these seminars every summer tell us. You can get all the details below, or fill out the form at the bottom of the page. We’ll be in touch.
