STEM DIGITAL will enable 90 high school and middle school STEM teachers and their students to conduct environmental research aided by the analysis of images from digital cameras, scanners, and the Internet.
Through residential research experiences for high school students, and comprehensive workshops for science teachers, approximately 2000 students will generate and submit genetic data to the International Barcode of Life Initiative.
Over 400 teachers from a wide range of disciplines, and over 9000 grade 5-12 students mostly from rural and suburban NC, SC, and CA have engaged in computer science programming involving problem solving, animation, creativity, and story telling.
