Northeast Florida Regional STEM2 Hub

Northeast Florida Regional STEM2 Hub 21 st Century Workforce Development Program 2020 – 2021 Outcomes

The Northeast Florida STEM2 Hub been working to build upon the foundational work accomplished over the past year by expanding access in our region by scaling successful programs . We are continuing to work on our project, CLOSING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE . Working with our corporate partners who donate end of life computers, we are securing refreshed and refurbished computers so that at-risk students who do not have a computer are given a training class and access to resources, including school resources. We are pleased to say that we have distributed almost 1,000 computers to date . This year, our goal is to distribute 2,500 computers to students through private funding sources. We are committed to this project and are pleased that almost 1,000 children who do not have a computer now have one that they are able to use during these challenging times to continue their instruction and have access to their school resources. Integration of STEM + CS into the School Day in Alignment with Standards: Program Description Impact/Long Term Goals Robotics in the School Day Continue to work with elementary and middle school Media Specialists, STEM Teachers, and Technology Teachers to deepen content knowledge and use of robotics in their programs. Expand access to schools that are not currently participating. Provide training on resources that align with these programs while allowing for virtual learning opportunities to continue learning in an out of school setting, as needed. Add 10 School Media/STEM Centers 22,260 students

Hacking STEM through math/science and STEM Integration

Continue to work with district and school leaders across the region to build comprehensive pathways and professional development to incorporate hacking STEM into the curriculum with alignment to BEST Standards. This empowers teachers to use a set of tools that are aligned with the skills needed in the workforce. We will be providing teacher training, startup materials, and implementation support to expand the integration into middle and high school courses in math, science, and STEM courses to accelerate student experiences with computer science, data science, data streaming, and fundamentals of artificial intelligence. We will continue to work in coordination with the FLDOE to infuse into statewide CS and STEM professional learning.
