BBEP Impacts Exceptional Children

I assessed the students’ intellectual involvement during the Science Tool Learning Center and the Help Harry STEM activity. The assessment included worksheets, designing a perch, and a survey of the students’ teamwork efforts. During the learning center, the students had to complete a worksheet the corresponded with the station they were currently at. For example, at the balance station, the students had to follow the prompts by using the balance and answering the questions on the worksheet. Not only did they have to have their “minds-on” to complete the worksheet, they were also involved in “hands-on” activities by using the science tools. Furthermore, during the Help Harry STEM activity, the students were instructed to design and build a

Evaluation is vital to education, whether it is a new reform or a back to basics approach. STEM education remains open to interpretation. Drew states that the quality and efficacy of programs across the United States require quantitative and qualitative evaluations (2011). These studies should include the long-term benefits of grant funding and best practices for sustaining effective STEM programs when the grants and funds from corporate sponsors terminate (Johnson, 2014). Ultimately, the evaluation and research requires dissemination to schools across the country in order to affect the necessary reforms.

In England, it is a legal requirement under the EYFS for all early years settings to work with parents and other professionals to support children’s care, learning and development. Certain policies and procedures must be in place to protect children and for guidance.

From collaborative learning inside of the student’s clusters of desk to hands-on lessons in STEM discovery, Galaviz is continually working to push the STEM envelope at Garfield Elementary. She hosts a Saturday STEM club for 4th - 6th graders, and recently, through a two-year grant funded by NASA and a partnership with Boise State University, she has trail-blazed even more at home learning opportunities. For K-6, each classroom now has the ability to take STEM backpacks home over the weekend. With three different lesson plans, students can now bring STEM home, experimenting and creating with the help of their

As a part of the HBCU Alumni Alliance’s Higher Education initiative program; Alumni of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are concerned about the inadequate representation of minorities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related professions. Consequently, DCHBCUAA STEM professionals have designed and organized an instructional hands-on STEM workshop for students in grades 10-12, to enlighten them on the different facets of professions available in the sciences. As a part of our community partnership with Kaiser Permanente, we have a workshop scheduled for Saturday, April 29, 2017, from 800 am-5:00 pm, at 2101 Jefferson Street in Rockville, Maryland.

Alumni of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are concerned about the inadequate representation of minorities in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) related professions. Consequently, DCHBCUAA STEM professionals have designed and organized an instructional hands-on workshop for students in grades 10-12. The workshop is designed to increase their awareness of the exciting opportunities available in the sciences and to provide an opportunity for students to talk to subject matter experts currently working in STEM occupations.

As a STEM student in the Biomedical pathway I am constantly introduced to new forms of science every single day, which is certainly a privilege because as a STEM student I am exposed to new ways of learning which aren’t covered in a typical classroom setting. In fact, Science is my favorite subject because it’s a constantly evolving subject that is responsible for the fluidity of earths processes. Moreover, my interest to increase my knowledge base leads to my interest in the Science aspect of the Governor’s Honor Program.

In undergrad, I volunteered my time as a teacher for the Saturday Science Academy on the campus of Charles R. Drew University. My work with the high school students reminded me that to make a difference, you must first care about the individual and understand their circumstances. The Saturday Science

As a SETA member I have participated twice as a workshop presenter for the annual STEM Workshop Conferences, “Expanding Your Horizons,” and the “Latino Youth Leadership Academy.” These conferences entitle grade school students to expose themselves to science workshops; raising awareness of higher education in the STEM field, which is an important advocacy I

Thank you for your consideration for our grant proposal Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathmatics (STEM) Improvement Project 2017. In 2016, the Juan Young Trust (JYT) helped fund Damascus Christian School (DCS) mobile computer cart with 30 chromebooks which allowed the intergration of more technology into our small school. This promoted an increase of student inquiry and interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathmatics (STEM) basics. Staff found school equipment outdated for the technology and difficult to encourage hands on interest without more relevant STEM improvements. DCS Administration would like to take the next step to further STEM education for the upcoming 2017-2018 school year, and has asked Damascus Christian Education Foundation (DCEF) to help fund a series of items aimed at meeting this goal.

Summer Programs Help Prepare Minority Students for College STEM, Laura Perez, CHEM 1305, August 08, 2016

Members of the DCHBCUAA have designed and organized an instructional hands-on STEM workshop for students in grades 10-12. The workshop is designed to increase

I’ll learn how to properly navigate in terms of networking with program directors at the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) in terms of sharing my ideas on proposed proposals and becoming a grant reviewer. This will strengthen my networking skills and also provide a mechanism of effective feedback and criticism to ensure I’m a competitive applicant in building my research portfolio. While building my undergraduate research program, I envision building my STEM outreach program for K-12 students. My goal is for my undergraduate students and I to develop STEM outreach curricula that is related to our research for a science club afterschool

Before I came to the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science, my world was small. I had never been exposed to the multiple STEM opportunities such as science fair, research, or university professors. I realized how fortunate I was to have such resources, and want to expose more young students to them. There are many underprivileged students in Denton ISD who don’t have access to STEM programs. I helped bridge this gap of educational opportunity by becoming a mentor for Aspire Mentorship, a program that promotes research among younger students to inspire them in the STEM fields. I mentored two middle school girls, a 7th and an 8th grader, through a research project from brainstorming ideas to conducting data analysis to their final presentation at the Fort Worth Regional Science and Engineering Fair.

It is my distinct honor to recommend Dr. B. J. Worthington as Excellence in STEM Leadership Award. Seven years ago, I crossed paths with Dr. Worthington and during this time he was an acquaintance, therefore, I did not recognize what a visionary, passionate, and committed person he was until I was introduced to Moore Magnet Elementary and STEM. From day one, Dr. Worthington envisioned how STEM should unfold inside of our school. Therefore, we had multiple meetings, made plans for implementation, and STEM to succeed, as our school transitioned from a Math and Science school as Moore Magnet transformed of a STEM school. We remain proud of our school and continue to reflect on the journey as we transitioned into this wall-to-wall STEM school.
