The nationwide NSF - 2019 STEM for All Video Showcase shares short videos on the progress and impact of K-12 STEM learning and teaching projects that are funded by the NSF and other government foundations. This year, the Georgia Tech Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics, and Computing, (CEISMC), submitted 3 videos to the showcase.
The Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics & Computing (CEISMC) utilizes the resources and expertise of the Georgia Tech community to enhance K-12 education and to prepare students for college and careers in STEAM fields. One of the goals of CEISMC is to address the lack of equitable access to STEAM education and opportunities for many students today.
A study conducted by Georgia Tech CEISMC researchers examining the impact of middle school engineering courses has been published in the International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science, and Technology. The results suggest that students who enroll in at least two of the engineering courses perform significantly better on standardized tests than students who do not enroll in any.
The Advanced Manufacturing and Prototyping Integrated to Unlock Potential (AMP-IT-UP) program at Georgia Tech will be featured in the 2018 STEM for All Video Showcase funded by the National Science Foundation. The online event will be held May 14 -21, 2018.
AMP-IT-UP teachers Cheryl Wilder and Kathy Duke from Griffin-Spalding County schools participated in an ECOGIG research cruise to the Gulf of Mexico. The cruise provided the teachers with real-world experiences that they will apply in the classroom, where they have been teaching their seventh graders three AMP-IT-UP modules on ocean ecology.
Georgia Tech participated in the 2017 NSF STEM for All Video Showcase: Research & Design for Impact. Its submission highlighted the AMP-IT-UP NSF Math and Science Partnership.
