Since 2010 The GEMS Camp has been serving girls who are historically underrepresended and underserved in STEM. Four unique summer programs cater to girls in grades 7–12 from historically underrepresented groups, specifically Black, Latina, and low-income backgrounds.
Based on JavaScript, JavaLab simulates various natural phenomena that relate to physics, chemistry, Earth science, astronomy, biology, measurement, and mathematics. For example, the Spectrum Analysis Simulation analyzes the sound around students and displays it as a spectrum.
One of the jobs of an engineer is to learn how to use forces in ways that benefit society—for example, designing bridges that can withstand the force of high winds or creating airplane wings that harness wind forces to enable flight. Engineers and artists are a lot alike when they study the effects of forces on something they are designing.
Do you have an innovative idea for improving STEM learning for middle school or high school students? Teachers at grades 6–12 are invited to apply online for a Toshiba America Foundation grant of up to $5,000 and more than $5,000 to help bring an innovative project into their classroom.
Since 2008, more than 700 high school chemistry teachers have received AmericanChemical Society (ACS)-Hach High School Chemistry Classroom Grants to support ideas that enhance classroom learning, foster student development, and reveal the wonders of chemistry.
