- Give one to Get One– p. 223 Adaptive Schools ONE idea as to how you believe the Collaborative might partner, inspire, propel, or engage to positively impact the future economic success of the Upstate? Participants moved about the room & shared information on their card with another person. Participants paraphrased and inquired so they could share their participant’s card and information with another person. At a signal, participants traded cards. Then located a new partner and shared the new card and information they had just acquired with the new partner. Repeated process for rounds 2 & 3. Returned to their table groups. Shared what you learned. Information shared: Inspire our youth to be interested and passionate about the sciences. To propel them to look at the world through a science lens and consider a career that includes science. And to start this at young ages not just HS. We can do this by providing opportunities for our youth to be exposed to science and what scientists do as a career. Provide hands-on for students to get engaged in their future. Show students some of the skills I have had the opportunity to learn over the years. As we prepare students have students ready to be career and technology ready. It is my idea that as educators and business need to find ways to support our students to understand the real world opportunities that are available to them by understanding the skills they need to be prepared for their careers. We can partner with Georgia Tech & their Innovation studio, UNC Charlotte STEM. We can inspire K-12 by to engage students in Google science fairs, Maker Fairs, and project-based learning. Engage, create makerspaces, hackerspaces. Form mentoring/shadowing partnerships with business/industry and classroom teacher. Likewise, partnership team between higher ed & classroom teachers. Track the number of students who put a STEM field on their IGP through to their college major or career field. Engage more students and parents in STEM by ore advertising about STEM to make STEM more overt. Billboard, public service announcements, “Got Milk” Maker Faires in rural areas to do all four partner, inspire, propel & engage. (This is a national movement). Regional competitions to inspire confidence (balloon cars; rocketry) Outside of the upstate, high tech partners for iMAGINE Upstate. Benchmark with other states like Cobb County, : youth like immediately relevant things that can do right away when magnet high-schoolers show & tells 8th grades < application time . . .Good! Workshops-schools already jave “career paths” Need workshops on getting “the next opportunity” in each of these job paths. Competitions & showcases. Partner—come together as companies & organizations to develop and fund a program to show middle school students an array of STEM careers and encourage them to research careers that they are interested in. Working with K-12 to promote needed STEM skills (or educate teachers for that matter) for college/career readiness. Reach out to underprivileged communities . . . Offer afterschool program(s) where funding isn’t available—would require volunteer time & materials. Sponsor robotics teams in schools where it’s not fundable. Need a continuum of progress from 4 original goals to show what needs to be done (specifics) and what has been done (Progress). I continue to come to meetings, but don’t really feel connected to completing a task, spreading a message or working on a project. Education liaison—high schools and colleges. Partner—local/military. Engage: out of the classroom. Aviation into the culture. Identify/qualify students. Quantify-measures. Partner-economics & entrepreneurial vitality taskforce—allows upstate communities to be aware of skill building programs. Work with local businesses to define future needs. What is needed with future employers—skills? Experiences? Work with schools /other groups to structure (educational) opportunities. Prepare students to acquire desired/needed skills, education. Engage-participate in events/programs at all schools. Beyond Greenville. Make our presence known. Uniform branding.
- Patterns & themes detected: Branding: slogan, recognition of STEM program name Cultivation of talent Curriculum development Mentoring: student to student of career professional to teacher Out of school time partnerships for afterschool, maker fairs, etc. Career information for students, teachers, and parents on skills needed Evaluations and data to measure success of STEM programs Partnerships with technical colleges Engage students at a young age Serving/helping people Informing students & parents Soft skills/ awareness: Communication; teamwork create a learning ecosystem: mentors; IGP through college/career; pipeline with similar interest to continue learning Outreach: underserved; benchmarking (share best practices) Student engagement: student STEM chapters
