SYNTHESIS: A quantitative meta-analysis and qualitative synthesis on the impacts of informal STEM and ICT programs on cognitive and social-emotional outcomes of youth participants

This project is a synthesis study to investigate the effectiveness of informal STEM and ICT programs to maximize impact and broaden participation of youth participants in STEM pathways. We focus on two research questions: (1) How and to what extent do informal, out-of-school time (OST) STEM and ICT learning experiences impact K-12 participants’ awareness, interest, and engagement in STEM majors and STEM careers? (2) What aspects of programs were most effective in maximizing impact and broadening participation of underrepresented groups?

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.

Empowering Informal Educators to Prepare Future Generations in Wireless Radio Communications w/ Mobile Resources

We are developing an innovative suite of mobile-ready learning resources for informal educators to support youth and the public’s understanding of wifi and radio frequency communications from digital apps to a craft kits, summer radio camps, videos and activity guides in English and Spanish. These learning and teaching resources were informed by user evaluations, co-design and values mapping towards inclusive design. Topics include the science of electromagnetic waves, radio technologies and social implications of radio frequency communications.
