high school students’ interests in pursuing science and engineering as their fields of study and careers, and to enhance the research experiences for the in-service high school teachers in science and technology areas so they can bring the knowledge and experiences back into their classrooms. Keywords: Project-based learning, K-16, Education Methods, Innovative Classroom Practice. 1. MOTIVATION Our outreach effort addresses the inadequacy of high school students in math and science literacy in the United States. According to [3], U.S. high school seniors ranked below their counterparts in 17 other countries in math and science literacy. In physics, U.S. high school seniors scored last among 16

The tracking system is equipped with automatedbattery charging circuit and switching capabilities for multiple batteries. The system can run afully autonomous mode using photoresistor to track the sun ensuring optimal coverage. Thepopular ESP8266 Wi-Fi Module is interfaced with an Arduino Mega using its communicationsprotocols for wireless control and monitoring of the system.I.

Indeed, many students are first attracted to NEWPATH because they have such ideas, do not know what to do with them, and want to be able to discuss the ideas with others who might have more experience with startups than they themselves have.
