how allthe aquariums are cared for. It was very interesting to learn about the amount of time and effortit takes to care for each tank. Also, I was surprised that I learned so much about myself duringthis internship. During the FAU class, I learned about how I handled stressful situations.Instead of getting frustrated, I’ve learned how to calm down and take everything step by step.The Apptitude program has helped me gain life skills that will be extremely useful in theworkplace. In addition to learning how to deal with stressful situations I have learned customerservice and communication skills. ”(b) How has the program impacted you as a person? “One of the primary ways this program has impacted me as a person is by exposing

code games for education and entertainment. However, this was thefirst effort to combine Kinect, Scratch, and Kinect2Scratch to develop interactive gamesfor children with ASD to engage in shower training.Four male and two female elementary school children with ASD (Allen, Bart, Chris,Diane, Emilie, and Fred) participated in this study. All of the children were enrolled inspecial education services under the autism category and their cognitive and adaptivefunctioning fell within the moderate intellectual disability range. Specifically, thechildren were selected based on the following criteria: (a) diagnosis of autism or anintellectual disability, (b) an Individual Education Plan (IEP) goal to improve adaptivebehavior related to personal care
assistance regarding the analysis and design. Class sessions will shift away fromlectures as originally planned, to allow more in-class involvement of the instructor, althoughlectures will still have their place. In addition, students will be required to present their full finalresults to the instructor in advance, before presenting to the greater community. Some of thedifficulty of this first year will be ameliorated simply by the fact that enrollment is expected toincrease, so that a student team, instead of an individual, will take on the challenge and will thushave a more balanced workload. With these intended changes, we believe that the success of thiscollaboration will increase greatly in upcoming years.[1] C. B. Zoltowski and W. Lafayette
recruitment,retention, and training needs from cradle to career. His national agenda emphasized (a)recruitment of students into STEM courses of study in K-16, (b) recruitment of dislocatedworkers and females into STEM careers, and (c) retention of K-16 students in STEM majors(Obama for America, 2012; U.S. DOLETA 2010, 2011, Ramlakhan, 2012). Findings from thiseconomic plan, coupled with other research and literature, recognizes the need for STEM careerand talent development in underrepresented populations. Beyond the need to direct resourcestowards underrepresented populations, the literature supports integrating government, industry,and community partnerships into STEM education and recruitment efforts.

catalyze a viral process that enables sustainable systems to multiply from site to site. In this approach, the University of Utah is working as the catalyst with the local “catalyst‐in‐training”, MUET, which more generally could be a University, an NGO, a government agency, local Service Providers (SP), or other key stakeholders in the identified Community of Practice. The catalyst seeks to (a) build capacity of the actors, (b) facilitate data management and ongoing dialogue among the actors in the community, and (c) build capacity of the local University, or other identified entity, to serve as the next catalyst in a new district. In the next step, the ‘local catalyst’ organization is then poised to take on the catalytic role with
