YouthAstroNet: The Sky Belongs to Everyone

The YouthAstroNet project is scaling up a program & online learning platform for youth ages 11-14 that features customized access to robotic telescopes, support for learner-driven engagement with scientific and computational analysis tools and practices, and interactions with digital STEM mentors. Our research will generate insights about how learning innovations can be effectively scaled up in ways that sustain impact on learners while providing both equity of access and equitable participation.

Synthesis: Impact of integrating innovative technologies in STEM classrooms on K-12 students' STEM career outcomes

This Synthesis project uses meta-analysis and qualitative synthesis to examine the effects of integrating innovative technologies into K-12 STEM education on students’ STEM career-related outcomes, and if and in what ways intervention characteristics and educational settings moderate these effects. To address equity issues in student career development, we specifically study how these effects are different for students who are underrepresented and underserved in STEM. We’d like to disseminate our findings, and our research process, methods, and methodological challenges to benefit the STEM education research and practitioner communities.

Teachers and Researchers Advancing Integrated Lessons in STEM

Project Overview: The TRAILS 2.0 SEI will expand, scale, and innovate a tested model of integrative STEM instruction and teacher professional development to enhance rural students’ STEM learning while generating interest in STEM careers. To reach underserved and underrepresented rural populations, the TRAILS 2.0 team will work with up to 90 secondary STEM teachers to impact over 10,000 students and expand to schools in: Delmarva Peninsula (Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia area), Southeastern Colorado and Northern New Mexico, and native Hawaiian-serving schools.
