Dr. Moore’s research is centered on the integration of STEM concepts in K-12 and postsecondary classrooms in order to help students make connections among the STEM disciplines and achieve deep understanding. Her work focuses on defining STEM integration and investigating its power for student learning. Tamara Moore received an NSF Early CAREER award in 2010 and a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) in 2012. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018 STEM Content in Elementary School Students’ Evidence-Based Reasoning Discussions (Fundamental)Introduction and backgroundScience

These structured out-of-school STEM learning experiences have been shown to play an important role in supportingSTEM engagement and learning [3], including developing children’s exposure to STEM basedexperiences and career

The camp is weeklong (Monday through Friday 9AM-4PM) and is open byapplication to high school juniors and seniors. The students have the option to be residential ornon-residential. Enrollment data showed that 5 out of the 16 participants are from out of state(31%). The goals of the camp are: (1) to stimulate the students’ interest in the area ofnanotechnology, (2) to educate students (and parents) about the opportunities for industrial andresearch careers in this field, and (3) to attract students to the minor in nanotechnology whichwas recently launched at Lawrence Tech.

Afterbrainstorming a number of ideas, the faculty instructor approached the local Habitat forHumanity (HfH) affiliate and asked them if they would be willing to collaborate. This choicemade sense because HfH is active in the local community, and they are seeking to deepenpartnerships with the university and university students. At the time, the local HfH affiliate wasfocusing their efforts on rebuilding homes in a nearby community that had experienceddevastating floods two years before. They invited the students to work on one of their projectswhich involved reconstruction of a home that had been completely destroyed, pictured in Figure1.

We have found that donors like to support these programs.

One challenge was unexpected and more physical in nature—three faculty developed blood clots (two while abroad) directly related, we think, to sitting down for long periods of time while flying.

Forexample, three of the juniors who participated in the research projects have applied for top pre-college research programs. Although their status was not actively tracked, they requestedreference letters from both faculty members. Ultimately, what is of interest is whether thestudents gain an appreciation and greater understanding of the STEM disciplines and how thatmanifests itself by participating students electing to pursue a career in STEM fields.
