Science for Future Elementary School Teachers (FEST) joins El Camino College (ECC), Moffett Elementary School, and California State Universities Dominguez Hills and Long Beach in a partnership to (1) link the content taught in two ECC science courses with pre-teaching experiences in the elementary schools; (2) introduce preservice teachers to the use of instructional technologies in science education; and (3) strengthen and sustain an articulated transfer path for future science teachers. Science FEST participants (1) take reformed physical and life science courses targeted for future teachers to develop their knowledge of content and pedagogy; (2) concurrently enroll in a curriculum development course in which they design inquiry-based, technology-enhanced science modules for elementary school students; (3) present the modules in classrooms, informal education settings, and at professional conferences; (4) develop leadership skills by advising and mentoring elementary school students via the After School Science Clubs and field trips; and (5) receive additional support services (academic/career counseling, technology training, transfer admission assistance) to facilitate their transfer into four-year teacher preparation programs. As a result, these future teachers have a stronger foundation in science and instructional technology, experience inquiry-based science, and better understand the integral nature of science in the world. This foundation helps them deliver science content more effectively once they enter their own classrooms.

未来小学教师科学 (FEST) 与埃尔卡米诺学院 (ECC)、莫菲特小学以及加州州立大学多明格斯山分校和长滩分校合作，旨在 (1) 将 ECC 两门科学课程的教学内容与小学的课前教学经验联系起来； (2) 向职前教师介绍科学教育中教学技术的使用； (3) 加强和维持未来科学教师的明确转学路径。科学节参与者 (1) 参加针对未来教师的改革后的物理和生命科学课程，以发展他们的内容和教学知识； (2) 同时参加课程开发课程，为小学生设计基于探究的、技术增强的科学模块； (3) 在课堂、非正式教育环境和专业会议上展示这些模块； (4) 通过课后科学俱乐部和实地考察为小学生提供建议和指导，培养领导技能； (5) 接受额外的支持服务（学术/职业咨询、技术培训、转学入学援助），以帮助他们转入四年制教师预备课程。因此，这些未来的教师在科学和教学技术方面拥有更坚实的基础，体验基于探究的科学，并更好地理解世界科学的整体本质。该基金会帮助他们在进入自己的课堂后更有效地传递科学内容。
