Webinar Mission Statement

We are encouraged to be creative and hone our skills in an area of interest through these programs in STEM. Similar to having a major in college, students at a magnet school have a specialized area that they can take classes in, along with the basic academic courses. The senior internships allow for a deeper, hands-on, understanding of a topic that we are deciding to dedicate our lives to. Wheeler’s courses are well designed to challenge and guide students, allowing them to excel in the future. Students who are in this program are encouraged to regard events from many points of view and be more open minded, advancing us in life by interactions and communications.

I am currently serving my country in the U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps, and over the past six years I have accumulated a vast knowledge of the STEM field.

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 Staff found school equipment outdated for the technology and difficult to encourage hands on interest without more relevant STEM improvements.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.

During the campus tour, hearing students talk about learning labs and project teams highlighted an exciting atmosphere of a collaborative, impassioned pursuit of knowledge. Watching the Dragon Day parade or reading about CUAppDev’s exploits were reassuring testaments to learning at Cornell as an innovative, fun, and symbiotic experience. Akin to the spirit embodied by organizations such as the Cornell Public Service Center, it’s here that I hope to utilize my education in service to the community. At Cornell, I’m confident my aspirations will help make others’ dreams come true,

A challenging new opportunity presented itself as Pat became the STEM instructor for Davidson County’s newest, most innovative middle school, Oak Grove. While she Incorporated her passion for driving students to reach their maximum potential she became a leader in the teaching community as the EXCEL (encourage, excellence, character, enthusiasm and leadership) sponsor for our PBIS team, a sponsor for the Robotics Team, and promoted numerous fundraisers throughout the entire school year for the general purpose of extending educational opportunities for all the students at Oak

In a recent program, students worked with the College of Integrated Science and Technology. Professors from four different departments created a hands-on experience for the scholars. First, scholars learned about the ethics of science and technology by creating a short story with a monster and drawing out how the story should go. In the next session, scholars put their stories to life using MIT’s Scratch program, a basic and fun introduction to coding. The goal of these programming days is to teach the scholars a new skill they can develop, as well as to introduce to them to activities, and possibly careers, which they may not have been familiar with. Each programming day ends with a free lunch provided to each of the 70

A program that is oriented around illuminating the complex problems that surround our world on a daily basis really connects to what I hope to receive in my college experience. This program incorporates progressive ways of teaching principal

We would like to see a shift in focus within our organization from one of standardization and compliance to one of innovation and experimentation; to one based on the products students create that demonstrate individual growth based on student learning goals; and to one where students are actively driving their own learning.

Two of my long-range goals are to spread the joy of playing music and to make a difference in this world through research and development of environment-friendly technology. Continuance of my education in music is essential for me to become more proficient as a musician, and through this journey I will have more opportunities to share the joy I experience through music. Likewise, academic training in a STEM field, specifically engineering, will allow me to move in the direction of developing technology that will sustain the environment for future generations as well as harness renewable energy thus minimizing our negative footprint on Earth.

STEM education is the principal theme of the new Arconic Foundation (af 2016), by continuing to create access

I was too young to compete, and by the time I was old enough, my family had relocated to Georgia. Although my opportunity was stifled, my passion for STEM was not. While in middle school, I seized the chance to apply to a STEM magnet school and was accepted. Today I am grateful for my experience as I’ve taken advanced math and science courses that will prepare me for college. I also was Vice President of my school’s Science Club and member of the Science Olympiad Team. I learned about community opportunities and different applications of science through these extracurriculars. Through Science Club, I led and performed experiments for elementary and Special Education students interested in STEM at outreach events and science fairs. In Science Olympiad, I participated in Technical Problem Solving and Compound Machines events. These events gave me a glimpse at mechanical engineering as I built devices with my partner, and how to think creatively and logically, which are key in the science

During the two weeks you are here there will be lots of guest camp counselors. Guest camp counselors

Our partnership has supported the facilitation of one-day STEM innovation camps, which have provided real life technology based business challenges for the students to tackle with our employee volunteers. Over 900 students and 70 employees in Italy, Spain, South Africa, France, Sweden and the UK have all had the chance to participate in these forward-thinking innovation camps.

While reading the MSDE STEM website, their mission statement resonated with me the most. I particularly like how they mentioned that the mission is to promote and improve STEM Education. Particularly in public school, it is imperative that educators work on strengthening STEM curriculums and improving how STEM subjects are taught in the classrooms so that it is more beneficial to the students. Thus, I thought it was great that the mission mention the room for improvement and that hopes to promote STEM Education in public schools.

I constantly daydream about my future career and what I could expect with it, but sometimes I don’t realize that I wont know much about the job until I actually try it out. As my research on the SECME sponsors and my own personal experiences have shown, engineering extends beyond the lab. It's not hard to see how my future career can have profound effects on the lives of many others. For example, I could one day use new technology developed by engineers to make the process of saving someone’s life a lot easier and have better survival odds. Or possibly someday we could use robotic technology to help people walk again. Although I would not be making this new kind of technology myself, it would be amazing if I could use it to change someone’s life. It's mind-blowing how far a career in STEM can take me and others who are willing to pursue these kinds of
