STEM Camp Q and A with Dr. Margaret Mohr-Schroeder.
Q: What success have you seen with STEM Camp?
A: Through the research we’ve conducted with STEM Camp, we have found that students have better attitudes toward science, technology, engineering, and mathematics at the end of camp compared to when they came to camp. This is important to us, because we like to reach and attract students who don’t necessarily like STEM or those who have had negative experiences with STEM in the past. We’ve also had a significant number of students become more interested in STEM careers by the end of camp. We realize these students may not end up going into a STEM field, but research indicates that middle school is the pivotal time when career interest is peaked, so we’re excited that students leave camp interested in a STEM career!The See Blue STEM Camp is currently NSF-funded, with a focus on broadening participation of underrepresented populations, especially females and students of color. We’ve been successful in hitting our goals each year because of the relationships we’ve formed with the area school districts and the Family Youth Resource Service Coordinators at the local schools. We were recognized in Fall 2015 by NSF as a Top 5 Model for Broadening Participation. We were excited to share our model and look forward to replicating camp at Morehead State University this summer.
Q: How do activities with students and K-12 schools inform what you do as a professor?
A: Engagement and outreach with the community has always been a big part of what I do as a faculty member and my philosophy and approach to teaching and learning. Doing activities such as STEM Camp and Family Nights keeps me connected to the K-12 community. I love teaching and miss it and so this is a way that I can stay connected to the classroom, inspire and motivate students, and work with their families and teachers to make meaningful connections to STEM. I also think I’m a better professor because of the engagement work I do. I stay connected to the schools and the community. I have a real pulse on what the real issues are, what’s going on in classrooms, what students are grappling with these days, and what teachers are faced with. I think it’s easy as a professor to get lost in our higher ed lives; but what really matters is how we can relate what’s happening in K-12 to the students/preservice teachers we’re preparing. Helping to connect our professors, especially the STEM content professors, to the K-12 community is also really important. Many of the STEM content professors have a strong desire to do more engagement work, but don’t really know how to approach it or want to do it on a smaller scale. Doing informal learning activities such as STEM Camp or Family Math or STEM nights enables them to try out new ideas on a smaller scale, get feedback and tweak it for the next implementation. Many of their graduate students are also involved. Most of these graduate students have never worked in a K-12 setting beyond their own personal experiences with schooling. Showing them the importance of connecting to the K-12 community (we hope) will have a strong and lasting impact on their future as a STEM professor.
Q: On the other side of the coin, in what ways does having research/university-level experts work in partnership with K-12 students/educators benefit students?
A: I think the K-12 students and teachers benefit from the fresh and new ideas that professors and our preservice teachers and graduate students bring to our engagement projects. We share our ideas and research and they get to pilot and try new ideas with lots of support. The K-12 community also gets to experience first-hand STEM content from professors who are top-notch experts in their fields. Sometimes we come to them and sometimes they come to us. There are not a lot of students and teachers across the US that can say they were in a university biology lab conducting experiments on cockroaches or fruit flies. Or touring the latest engineering labs. Or helping to conduct experiments at the Center for Applied Energy Research. Just giving them positive, authentic experiences with STEM content is a huge benefit.
Q: In general, do you see perceptions of mathematics changing? Are fewer students taking the attitude of “I’m not good at math, it’s too hard, etc…” If so, why?
A: In general at a local level, I do think we are seeing a shift in perceptions regarding mathematics, in a positive direction. We are doing a lot of things right in Kentucky. We’re focusing alot on the mathematical (and science and engineering) practices…the work of the mathematics (and STEM) in the classroom. That’s what is going to truly translate into real life. We also have worked hard to put informal learning experiences into place that help in reducing mathematics anxiety. The See Blue Mathematics Clinic specifically targets struggling mathematics learners. The See Blue STEM Camp specifically targets underrepresented students and students who are disinterested in STEM. The Department of STEM Education has several other projects that target giving students and their teachers positive, authentic experiences in STEM. The more of this we can do, the more impact we’re going to have at the classroom and community levels.
“Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia hosted its annual Air Show drawing more than 280,000 visitors from 25 states and 12 countries over the three day event that is recognized as the Navy’s largest open house in North America. This year, the NAS Oceana Air Show forged a ground-breaking partnership with the Virginia Beach City Public School System (VBCPS) to create a one-of-a-kind “Outdoor STEM Laboratory” on an unprecedented scale. Recognizing the need to highlight career fields in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to America’s youth, the leadership of NAS Oceana and VBCPS committed to creating this Outdoor STEM Laboratory for every 5th grade student in Virginia Beach during the Friday practice air show on board NAS Oceana. The entire 5th grade class – totaling more than 6,500 students –attended the Friday air show for a full immersion in STEM displays, flying performances, ground static displays and a performance by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels flight demonstration team. The goal was to provide each student at least three meaningful STEM interactions via more than 100 “access points” positioned on the flight line within four STEM zones. These displays were set up to educate and inspire our students to consider STEM fields of study with hands-on experiences in physics, robotics, 3D printing and much more. “

A plant has two organ systems: 1) the shoot system, and 2) the root system. The shoot system is above ground and includes the organs such as leaves, buds, stems, flowers, and fruits. The root system is mainly below ground, but could be found above ground and includes parts such as the roots, tubers, and rhizomes. Plants appear to be relatively simple structures, but the are, in fact, very complex structures.

NASA Community College Aerospace Scholars (NCAS) builds a diverse future STEM workforce by engaging two-year degree seeking students in authentic learning experiences. It opens doors for 2-year community college students seeking a STEM degree by offering three unique experiences. Scholars get a closer look at NASA’s unique missions and research and learn how to develop their talents, interests, and passion to become future STEM professionals by participating in one of three missions.
Mission 3: Explore
Scholars who successfully complete Mission 2 may be selected to participate in Mission 3.
NCAS at NASA – Scholars contribute to NASA’s missions by developing possible solutions to current NASA challenges onsite at a NASA Center. Scholars engage in authentic job shadowing and gain exposure to university campuses.
