在关键时刻帮助90人完成“final”任务

WITH NINE SUCCESSFUL AFRICAN-AMERICAN AND HISPANIC STEM STUDENT ROLE MODELS FROM ST. 菲利普学院提供教学援助, 90 STUDENTS HAVE 80 MINUTES TO TEACH HIGH-SPEED-HIGH-TECH LESSONS TO THEIR PARENTS AS FINAL TEAM PROJECT FOR HANDS-ON ST. 菲利普学院2018年科学和数学暑期学院7月26日

九圣. 菲利普的大学 students help 90 prospective young scientists and their families make the connections between affordable college education and the higher-demand, higher-pay employment sectors of their city during the final day of the college's 2018 Science and Math Summer Academy 7月 26 at 10 a.m. in the advanced science labs within Building 1 of the college's Southwest Campus at 昆塔纳路800号 in the city's Port 圣安东尼奥 neighborhood.

The final hands-on demonstrations for the aspiring scientists ages 11-15 (local middle school and high school science students) require 90 youth to develop the presentation and communication skills to teach the parents the science and technology in their STEM projects in 80 minutes at the college's advanced labs. The final day consists of four rotations of 20-minute hands-on kids-teaching-parents presentations in a bevy of subjects, 包括机械工程, 材料科学与化学.

Behind the scenes and instrumental to student success in the academy project, nine St. 菲利普的大学 students served as successful African-American and Hispanic STEM role models by providing instructional assistance for the youth in the eight STEM disciplines of the SAMSA program. 三圣. 菲利普大学教育项目的学生(罗克珊·桑德斯), Ryan Garza and Daniella Salas) gained valuable experience by co-teaching academy classes in 2018 with college professors and were encouraged to answer the national call to increase the number of STEM teachers.

St. 菲利普的大学 students Pierre Ramos and Sabrina Morales are both conducting research on the impact that the program has---one on the impact on the college student participants (Ramos) and one on the impact on the youth participants (Morales). 该项目已进入研究的第三个年头. 乔·迪·邓肯是该校科学卓越中心的主任.

“本赛季我们有90名青少年参加了SAMSA, 我们2018年SAMSA的合作伙伴是埃拉·奥斯汀社区中心, 德克萨斯州的一个&M Agrilife and Girls, Inc.邓肯说。.

"A federal Title III Part B grant provides partial funding at the college for the establishment of community outreach programs that will encourage elementary and secondary school children to develop academic skills and the interest to pursue post-secondary education. SAMSA就是这些资助项目之一。.

"How can we continue to service low-income and under-represented minorities with our outreach programs as we transition out of our Title III Part B funding?邓肯问. “我们,圣. 菲利普学院的学生和我, are conducting publishable research using statistical analysis to show the impacts that are being made on the St. 菲利普的大学 students and the youth who participate in the Center of Excellence for Science programs. Funding for this research comes from the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. 教育部通过第三章拨款. We will be seeking to publish data we are gathering to show best practices in the design and execution of our outreach programs. 这些数据将有助于获得赠款, 捐赠和赞助商, 并为圣. 菲利普学院的学生参与我们的外展项目，”邓肯说.

"Academic skills are measured with pre-and-post testing of math and science skills using the materials from Trend in International Math and Science Study questionnaires. 态度的改变, 意识, 行为, knowledge and skills are being measured by surveys designed using the National Science Foundation's Guidelines for Informal Education project,邓肯总结道。.
