STEM Programs- Current and Past
Full STEAM Ahead-An in class STEAM mentoring program that brings an outside STEM expert into individual middle school classrooms each month. Teachers and the mentor work together to create experimental STEAM learning activities.
iCreate Bioscience Program -A three-year National Science Foundation funded project, ending in 2019, that tests a model of community engagement in STEM learning through the design and implementation of a high school level career and technical education (CTE) bioscience course.
Pathways to Engineering -A previous three year National Science Foundation funded project that aimed to accelerate delivery of key STEM Pathway programs and activities through collaborations among eight rural Arizona community colleges including Coconino Community College to prepare more students with STEM certifications and degrees supporting workforce needs.
