. Bowman Creek Academy: An immersive STEM experience (work in progress) Kennedy M. R., Cuevas A. B., Boukdad S. Last Revised: April 24th, 2018 Keywords: STEM, Community Impact, High School Students, Youth Empowerment,Sustainability, Non-formal EducationAbstractBowman Creek Educational Ecosystem (BCe2) is a partnership that pilots community-engaged,sustainable projects to address real world challenges in the Southeast neighborhood of City Y, amid-size city in the Midwest. In an effort to create a more immersive and engaging experiencefor high school students, BCe2 developed Bowman Creek Academy (BCA). BCA is a week-longacademic program that engages high school students with STEM (science, technology,engineering, math) education through
perception of STEM and their interest in life-sciences and themore caring/social improvement areas. The work on inclusive suggests the ideal situation is abalance of independence and teamwork, and individuality and inclusivity [53]. Perhaps, since webelieve learning is socio-cultural, if boys attend after-school STEM classes with girls thepercentages of boys who think girls belong in engineering could increase.References[1] J.

Among the main categories, there were three with relevance to thecurrent study as they referred to a) the way students used different learning resources, b) thefrequency with which students used these resources, and c) students’ satisfaction with theseresources. For all categories, subcategories covering different learning resources with onereferring specifically to video tutorials were created a priori. After this, all transcripts wereread and summarized by the author. Then, the initial coding frame was applied to threeinterviews and revised where needed. In the next

Many of these coursesare freshman-level mathematics and chemistry courses, as well as some sophomore-levelengineering courses. PAL leaders attend class for the section(s) they support so they are aware ofthe current material being discussed. This also allows them to build rapport with the instructor aswell as the students enrolled in the section(s) they support. Leaders then hold two 80 minutesessions each week. During sessions, leaders facilitate collaborative activities and studentdiscussions related to course topics as well as provide a safe place to ask questions and makemistakes along the way.

Meanwhile, over sixty percent of the tweetingactivity relied on retweets. With respect to content type embedded with tweets, photos were mostpopular as over half of the tweets contained a photo. Other forms of media including videos andanimated gifs were used less frequently within the campaign tweets. This finding aligns with

Hence, by giving students a series of assigned scenarios, it forces them to work throughthe interactives and hopefully piques their curiosity to create their own micro-experiments in theprocess.The Resultant Force and Moment Assignment is coded into our LMS Canvas as two items. First,the GeoGebra interactive is embedded in a stand-alone Page (Figure 1) which can also beaccessed outside of the assignment. Second, assigned scenarios are input as a Quiz whereinCanvas selects a random order (and set) including 8 of the 11 current scenarios (Appendix B).The final part of the Canvas Quiz was a single feedback question “Was this a worthwhileexercise which helped you to better understand

,instructional videos, and mentorship are critical to the success of open-ended projects.The next major focus of the first-year engineering program is develop a mentorship program tosupport course projects. When students propose their own ideas, it helps to have a mechanismthat finds experts to support their project. Teaching assistants with experience in the proposedareas are a valuable resource to guide students from their conceptual design to productdevelopment. Further research is needed to understand and improve the role of the mentors foreach RAD project.References [1] Walsh, D., (2004) A Freshman Design Experience Using Rapid Prototyping.

A systematic qualitative data analysis process consists of 5sub-steps [37]: (a) data collection, (b) data transcription, (c) data segmentation, (d) datacategorization, and (e) data coding. After a product description or customer review issegmented into multiple individual coding units (i.e., short phrases), designers can follow aparticular design methodology to develop a categorization scheme, and then assign the mostsuitable code to each coding unit. Depending on the design methodology taught in class, thecategorization scheme varies respectively. For example, if the Axiomatic Design Theory wastaught, then designers could assign the codes such as CN (customer need), FR (functionalrequirement), DP

In addition, cultural barriers to taking risk included a: (a) lack of shared values and cohesion among the participants, (b) lack of belonging among faculty participants from the ancillary academic units, and (3) sense of competition rather than collaboration between the

Much of the gender research on mindset has been done with girls and boys who areyounger than college students. Girls have been shown to suffer because of teachers who seemto have fixed mindsets, self-selecting out of STEM if they do not think they are smart enough [6].However, middle school girls with a growth mindset closed the gender gap on achievementtests in mathematics [6].B.
