The FabLab Classroom: Preparing Students for the Next Industrial Revolution
This project introduces 4th and 5th grade students and teachers to engineering design and associated mathematics by developing and implementing a new, scalable, personal fabrication laboratory, the Classroom FabLab, and supporting curriculum. The University of Virginia and the University of North
Conducting Authentic Molecular Biology and Genomics Research in High Schools
This Rutgers University project, Conducting Authentic Molecular Biology and Genomics Research (MBGR) in High Schools, is a three-year strategies-based ITEST project that provides avenues for science teachers and their students to become part of, and contribute to, authentic research in biotechnology
Clean Energy Literacy and Leadership (CELL)
Five sites located in underserved, East San Francisco Bay Area urban communities will form a regional network where 300 students from ages 14 to 16 engage in clean energy, ICT and green technologies education, and conduct public outreach activities.
I-C-STEM IN My FUTURE
I-C STEM In My FUTURE is a two-year, year-round, informal learning program for 80 students focusing on mathematics, the use of hand-held technology, computer literacy skills, technical training and career paths. The project will examine the impact of this technology-enriched intervention program on
From Learning to Research: Developing Future Earth System Scientists and Professionals
The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research is collaborating with the GLOBE program, the University of Colorado, New York University, the Texas Regional Collaboratives and several other partners to design, implement, and evaluate an Earth System Science learning experience for teachers and
Bridging Math Literacy and Digital Media Creation: Students as Learners, Teachers, and Leaders of STEM Content
The project leaders will guide high school students through a mathematics-based, programming experience which prepares them to in turn teach mathematics and programming to middle school students.
Middle School Science Readiness Program
This project focuses on the critical drop-off point between elementary and middle school, often identified as the first major roadblock to the success and interest of students in STEM.
GUTSyGirls
GUTS y Girls is a three-year ITEST Strategies project targeting middle school girls in Santa Fe, Las Cruces, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. This project builds on a previously funded NSF Academies for Young Scientist award (06-39637) and includes partnerships between the Santa Fe Institute and MIT
STEM Teams: Promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Skills, Knowledge, Interest, and Career Awareness through Strategic Teaming
The primary goal of the STEM Teams strategies project is to build a bridge from isolated middle schools in rural NC to the high tech resources at research universities, to effectively teach STEM (science, mathematics, & technology) content and instill an understanding of the potential of STEM careers.
ITEST Convening: Advancing Research on Youth Motivation in STEM
The ITEST Learning Resource Center at EDC hosted a convening designed to develop a theoretical framework to guide future research on youth motivation in STEM with a particular emphasis on populations most underrepresented in STEM. Two guiding questions were be the focus of the event: What is
