Participation in the STEM PUSH Network will support the continuous improvement of your programming while creating a mechanism to benefit your students’ postsecondary pathways.
Local and regional STEM ecosystems will serve an important role in this work by identifying additional PCSPs in their urban area and connecting PCSPs involved in the STEM PUSH Network with equity-focused higher education institutions, educational organizations, and corporations committed to broadening the participation of underrepresented groups.
Local and regional STEM ecosystems can also provide opportunities for STEM PUSH Network participants to share their learning with the entire local or regional ecosystem. As the accreditation process develops, local and regional ecosystems will help to brand the process with higher education institutions to create market demand for both PCSP participation and institutionalization in admissions.
We are excited to hear from Dr. Ebony McGee this afternoon! There are still a few minutes to join us for the @PittCUE Lunch & Learn, "Black, Brown, Bruised: How Racialized STEM Education Stifles Innovation," at noon EDT. Register here: http://ow.ly/IQMT50EnA1o
One of our Network members, @ProjExplore, shares about how the STEM PUSH Network helps connect them with other partners to ensure students stay engaged in STEM education. Take a look at the story on our website: http://ow.ly/oTPx50EcFvl
This NSF INCLUDES Alliance is funded by NSF Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES), a comprehensive national initiative to enhance U.S. leadership in discoveries and innovations by focusing on diversity, inclusion and broadening participation in STEM at scale. It is also co-funded by the NSF Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program and the Advancing Informal STEM Learning Program (AISL).
