More than 1,100 predominantly underrepresented urban, rural and suburban students grades 9-12 engage in a high school Capstone course focussing on the development, iteration, and launching of challenge project work.

One thousand National Academy Foundation (NAF) Information Technology (IT) students participate in California, Florida, and Oklahoma urban career academies.

This strategies project will provide over 250 underrepresented minority (URM) elementary/middle school students (grades 4-6) attending an inner city public school with contextualized agricultural life science learning experiences.

Ninety 14-26 year old youth in grades 9-12 in Oakland, California will control remote sensors by coding a microprocessor to conduct science investigations related to climate change, locally and remotely, by programming an in orbit nano-satellite.

We will collaboratively develop a Maker Engineering Design program with New York Hall of Science, NYU, ASD experts, 15 educators and 240 middle school students, 80 of whom will be on the autism spectrum, in a New York City public school inclusion program.

Fifteen middle school teachers and 150 rural students, grades 6-8 who are under-represented in STEM careers, will use flight simulation as an active learning tool to engage them in learning and to reinforce various mathematics and physics concepts.

90 Native American students will work with remote sensing technology to explore local ecological issues through summer camp, school-based programs and internships to support the development of culturally connected STEM identities.

This project engages more than 45 teachers and 600 students in integrated STEM experiences using 3D scanning and printing, and computational modeling within a highly relevant but unexplored educational pathway to K-12 STEM – paleontology.
