Researchers have argued that creative competence can be enhanced42,43,44,45.How it can be enhanced is still a mystery.

Hands-on activities arepremium opportunities for learning and teaching. Inclusions of self-directed virtual activitiesallow for the personal development of the learner. Therefore, students should be encouraged tocreate their own learning experiences using these virtual tools.

Examples include: teaching best practices seminars for existing faculty members,teaching preparation programs for graduate students, and research grant writing programs forgraduate students and junior faculty. These programs and practices have shown significantimprovements in junior faculty’s

The project is producing units forteachers, who are implementing these units with support from master teachers and educationalscholars. The community serves as a forum for teachers to debrief and learn from each otherabout ways to improve their instruction and design of the curricular units. Libraries in the statesystem act as partners for dissemination to rural areas of the innovative instructional approaches.As a result, in addition to increased knowledge, there was a significant improvement inparticipants’ confidence with integrating CS into their practice as well as their beliefs that theycan affect student learning outcomes

Topic 3 4 Evidence of ImpactIn today's presentation, we will share the details of a longitudinal study on a middle schooloutreach program for girls. We will begin by sharing some background on Camp Reach and theoriginal elements of its design which have remained relatively constant over the last 20+years. In addition, we will share some brief information on other outreach programs at WPI,since participation in these outreach programs is one of the main sources of the touchpoints wediscuss in our research.Next, we will discuss the study design of this particular research. Camp Reach was originallydeveloped with the intent of conducting longitudinal research. Therefore, the program

Each team then gave a formalpresentation at the end of the year. The high school students loved the project and theengineering experience, and most of them entered engineering or science programs atuniversities after graduation. Assessment interviews revealed that the undergraduates, through Page 22.1581.5their mentoring, enhanced their engineering experience and their commitment to continuing tograduation in engineering. This partnership with AMES is an excellent model of an activity thatwas
tocontinue such efforts on larger scales.
