Developing a Model for Expanding Informal Tech Education for Underrepresented Communities through Makerspaces
This project will advance efforts of the Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program to better understand and promote practices that increase students' motivations and capacities to pursue careers in fields of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM)
Developing Digital Makers in the Coding Makerspace to Include Boys of Color in Computer Science Learning and Cybersecurity Workforce Development

This project will advance efforts of the Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program to better understand and promote practices that increase students' motivations and capacities to pursue careers in fields of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM)
Beyond Rubrics: Moving Towards Embedded Assessment in Maker Education
This project is supported by the STEM+Computing (STEM+C) program, which advances applied research integrating computational thinking and computing activities within disciplinary science, technology, engineering, and mathematics teaching and learning in early childhood education through high school
Nebraska Innovative Maker Co-laboratory
The project will design, develop and test a Makerspace engagement model that connects geographically dispersed learning communities and mentors participating in Maker activities and spaces to provide informal STEM learning pathways and to broaden participation for STEM activities for youth and their community.
Group-Based Cloud Computing for STEM Education Project
This project will design, develop, implement, and study a socio-technological system for group-centered STEM teaching and learning consistent with a nationally recognized pre-service program. The project will use results from more than 30 years of research to demonstrate how network supported, group-based learning grounded in principles of Generative Design can improve learning for all learners, across racial/ethnic backgrounds.
The IT College and CAREERS Readiness Project: Career Academy Research on Educational Experiences and Related Successes
This ITEST project involves the University of South Florida, in collaborations with the National Academy Foundation, and three high school career academies, to study the impact of participation in the career academy model implemented by National Academy Foundation under different levels of implementation fidelity.
Promoting STEM Interests and Careers through Families and Museums Exploring
This ITEST project aims to research the STEM career interests of late elementary and middle-school students and, based on the results of that research, build an informal education program to involve families and community partners to enhance their science knowledge, attitudes, experiences, and resources. There is an emphasis on underrepresented and low income students and their families.
Inspiring Commitment for STEM Career Paths through Extended Women's Hackathons
This project, targeting high school Hispanic girls, will research how a coherent set of experiences supports student competency, motivation and persistence for productive participation in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT). workforce of the future. Participants will join other young women to take part in the Women's Hackathon @ CSUSM (California State University San Marcos) and participate in an after-school program that focuses on computer programming, career education, team building, and the non-programming components of the software development process.
Promoting Robotic Design and Entrepreneurship Experiences among Students and Teachers
The project will develop, implement, and assess an initiative to promote robotic design and entrepreneurship experiences among students and teachers.
Understanding the Role of Gender in Engaging the Interest of Girls in Computer Science
The project will research the effects of single-gender computer science (CS) camps and gender aligned role models within that context.
