CRITICAL NEED

USA Needs More

� Science literate students and parents

� More college students in STEM

� More materials science and engineering students

�

NATIONAL STEM CHALLENGES� National concern about the future availability of a properly trained

Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) workforce, including teachers.

� Students frequently first become excited about science, by a highly qualified, motivated and capable STEM teacher, before they become interested in science and engineering as a potential career choice.

� ASM Materials Camp uses a hands-on lab approach to teach the scientific method and advanced inquiry-based learning skills, using everyday materials as a vehicle and gateway for career exploration. This learner-focused approach features “just-in-time” information sharing, transforming previous abstract concepts into practical applied knowledge.

� Recognizing that future US engineering and science workforce needs are severe, ASM Materials Camp address efforts to enhance the pipeline of engineers and scientists.

EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH

“Signature Program”

Materials Camp®

�

Materials Camp: Unique Features� Scalable� Effective, Low cost per teacher� Multiplier Effect: High impact on students� Numerous partners involved - $ + talents� Proven curriculum and teaching methods� Efforts prior to national challenge posed

from “Rising Storm”: strengthen skills of 250,000 teachers thru training

�

GUIDING MOTIVATIONMaterials Science is a gateway

and a unifying tool to connect and integrate Science, Technology,Engineering and Math at the high school level leading students toward selection of STEM career paths.

PICK UP THE PACE “PUP”

GOALS� Double number of high school teachers

trained� Secured broad based donations to finance

expansion

�

PUPEXPANSION PROPOSAL

� Expand STEM Teacher program over 5 years to add 24 new locations to the existing 24 training locations

� Train an additional 2,200 high school STEM teachers� Provide a total of 90,000 additional hours of lab-based

STEM training� Establish 2 additional advanced level Materials Camps for

teachers motivated to offer full scale materials science courses at their high schools

� Provide “Starter Kits” of lab equipment and consumable supplies to 200 STEM teachers who opt to participate in additional 40 hours of “advanced training”

Materials Science in High Schools

� Integrates and connects concepts: physical sciences + math + technology thru hands-on lab experiences

� 100 + teachers teach a “materials” based high school course now, most teachers are ASM Materials Camp graduates

� Teachers report materials science content engages many students who would drop out or never consider a STEM career

�

TARGET AUDIENCES

� High school students

� High school teachers

�

WHY TEACHERS?

� Inspiration: Many students become inspired to seek applied science careers through practical hands-on engagement

� Mentorship: High school teachers exert significant career choice influence and are gate keepers who remove perceived academic roadblocks

� Leverage: Reaching one teacher leads to reaching many hundreds of young people
