Northeast Florida Regional STEM2 Hub
Northeast Florida Regional STEM2 Hub 21 st Century Workforce Development Program 2020 – 2021 Outcomes
Cybersecurity, Drones and High-Demand Career Pathways Expand Demonstration Schools
Build upon foundational work in robotics in elementary and middle schools, to infuse career-focused pathways and experiences, leading to interest in high-demand careers in cybersecurity, drones technologies, and artificial intelligence, while building foundational skills in computational thinking. This will set students up for success in high school as they engage in programs that support key industry certifications aligned to the revised state priorities and CAPE list. We will continue to work with industry partners for grounded workforce experiences through internships, corporate visits, events, speaking engagements, and mentorships. 20 Elem. 10 Middle Schools Continue to support existing demonstrations schools through targeted professional learning for teachers to integrate STEM into core content areas. Begin expansion of demonstration schools and capacity building through peer visits. Identify and develop new demonstration schools across the region. Open doors to districts outside the region for school visits. Continue to coordinate with colleges of education to develop preservice teachers ready to teach computer science, coding, robotics and STEM upon graduation for system capacity building. Add 5 Demonstration Schools 3, 710 students 8,500 students Increase participation in the Hour of Code, with a goal of 100% participation by schools in the region. Expand the number of teachers trained in computer science fundamentals to increase the number of students who are introduced to coding. Support the newly developed facilitators through a virtual platform to support the expansion of access to computer science across all of north Florida, especially rural areas. Increase the number of schools offering Computer Science Discoveries and Computer Science Principles (AP) by increasing the number of trained teachers and the number of sections available in each school. Expand participation of students in the Annual Computer Science Fair. Work in coordination with the FLDOE to infuse into statewide computer science initiatives to support state computer science goals.
