Manipulatives, motivation, mentoring (M3) - these are the three themes this GK-12 project is using to create a technologically innovative highway that is empowering K-12 students with science, math, engineering, and technology (SMET) skills and thus broadening their career opportunities. The project uses Hybrid and electric vehicles as the platform for investigation and discovery in new, emerging, and environmentally responsible fields that affect not only individuals in our society, but also society in America as a whole. Manipulatives such as addition and subtraction conceptualization in the early years, alternative fuel engine simulation in junior high, design and analysis of semi-conductor solar panels in high school, and graphical computer-based education tools throughout these years, are providing visualization of real-world systems. Through exposure to the frontiers of discovery in electronics, power systems, computer-based control, system dynamics, safety, etc., this project is developing a vision that motivates students to master SMET fundamentals. Mentoring relationships are bringing the skills, vision, and enthusiasm of successful engineering graduate and undergraduate students into the lives of grades K- 12 children. M3 education is being constructed via a partnership between three participating Pennsylvania school districts, the Women in Science and Engineering Program with General Motors support, and Penn State University's Colleges of Engineering, Science, Earth and Mineral Sciences, and Education.

操纵，动机，指导（M3）-这是GK-12项目的三个主题，用于创建一个技术创新的高速公路，使K-12学生掌握科学，数学，工程和技术（SMET）技能，从而扩大他们的职业机会。该项目使用混合动力和电动汽车作为调查和发现新的，新兴的和对环境负责的领域的平台，这些领域不仅影响我们社会中的个人，而且影响整个美国社会。早期的加减法概念化、初中的替代燃料发动机模拟、高中的半导体太阳能电池板的设计和分析以及这些年来基于计算机的图形教育工具等操作工具正在提供真实世界系统的可视化。通过接触电子，电力系统，基于计算机的控制，系统动力学，安全等领域的前沿发现，这个项目正在发展一个愿景，激励学生掌握中小企业的基本知识。导师关系带来的技能，愿景和成功的工程研究生和本科生的热情到年级K- 12儿童的生活。M3教育是通过三个参与宾夕法尼亚州学区之间的伙伴关系，在通用汽车公司的支持下，妇女在科学和工程计划，以及宾夕法尼亚州立大学的工程学院，科学学院，地球和矿物科学学院和教育学院。
