Applications of STEM – College Readiness (9th Grade – 12th Grade – NSBE Jr.)
STEM APPLICATIONS - College Readiness The new STEM Applications program component for students in the 9th-12 grade pathway help students discover firsthand how engineering and technology related to the world around. The STEM Applications program aims to help students tap into the excitement of engineering and the underlying values of excellence, leadership, technical development and teamwork that underlie its professional practice. The STEM Awareness curricula, tool-kits, communications will be adjusted to be appropriate for high school students in the 9th-12th grade pathway and mindset. The communication messages will shift and begin to prepare these high school students for a professional world that does not look like them. Performance metrics will shift to align with the nuances and needs of this grade pathway. The signature program for the high school grade pathway is NSBE Jr. and NSBE PCI sta and stakeholders will review and where necessary update materials. To support the expansion and sustainability of these new program components; and to better engage key PCI support partners (i.e. academic/MEP partners, industry partners, Collegiate NSBE chapters) important to help shape these college-ready students matriculation to the collegiate level, a straw man model will be developed. It will explore program structure, logistics, stakeholder/ advisor engagement and the cost and stang associated with these improvements/changes. To advance the new STEM Applications program component, a group of NSBE PCI sta and stakeholders will focus on enlisting 5-10 select chapters to test, learn from and refine this program component; and then build new bridges to the appropriate NSBE College chapters, university and industry partners, NSBE Professional chapters and National Executive Board and World Headquarters (WHQ) leadership. Program advancement should continue to focus on the 5-10 earlier selected chapters with work to connect the dots with the applicable College NSBE Chapters, University/Industry Partners, Professional chapters and NEB/NSBE Headquarter leadership. Metrics will now have some continuity and help demonstrate students that engage in and complete NSBE K-12 programs can be college-ready for engineering. These more integrated metric-driven data will help both advance the PCI programming and better link it to Collegiate-level success. They will also ultimately help clarify and link the PCI programmatic & engagement contribution to the overall goal of graduating 10,000 Black engineers by 2025.
