It has made a dramatic impact on my students and has allowed them to become better researchers. A few of my students have even presented their projects and earned the opportunity to compete at JSHS, Genius Olympiad, and the International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). The program encourages students of all genders and ethnicity to strive to create great research projects. There are programs especially designed for senior students who have previously participated in the program to earn a research stipend.

"The educators (formal and informal) come from the United States and spend 3-6 weeks participating in hands-on field research experiences in the Arctic or Antarctica, working side by side with scientists. STEM at the Poles is professional development for educators across all Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) disciplines connecting them to the polar regions and the research community; developing Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) resources; and changing how they teach STEM in both informal and formal learning environments." ]]> 2020-08-14 17:03:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifermeadows7/8k5ppfix82g8w2ym/wish/680641472 Bootstrap (Integrated Computing for Algebra, Physics and Data Science, for all students) clewicki1 https://padlet.com/jennifermeadows7/8k5ppfix82g8w2ym/wish/680644293 https://www.bootstrapworld.org/ 

"We craft research-based curricular modules for grades 6-12. Our materials reinforce core concepts from algebra, enabling non-CS teachers to adopt our introductory materials while delivering rigorous and engaging computing content drawn from CS classes at universities like Brown, WPI, and Northeastern."

"Our other modules model physics, data science, and sophisticated interactive programs, and can be integrated into Science, Math, Intro and even AP CS Principles courses. Teachers can mix-and-match content across various modules to fit their needs."
