the 1st generation, low income, urban and rural highschool student populations. As evidenced by their SAT Math achievement scores and high GPA’swhich prompted their admission, these students are smart. However, they received their STEMeducation in low performing urban and rural high schools and were raised in highly challengedunder-resourced neighborhoods. Research shows that these talented students succumb to theintensity of the 1st and 2nd year university math/science courses. The S-STEM BEATS projectbuilds upon prior NSF S-STEM and STEP projects lessons and practices which proved S-STEMscholars will thrive best when embedded and engaged in an academic innovation ecosystem whichallows students to benefit from the support talents and
