This Track 2, GK-12 project builds upon existing relationships and infrastructure developed in the previous GK-12 project with two school districts serving diverse students traditionally underrepresented in engineering and the College of Engineering and Applied Science. The Broader Impact of the project is very high. Fellows, in partnership with cooperating teachers, are improving STEM literacy in high-needs schools through a grades 3-12 pre-engineering program and are learning to be effective service learning mentors for undergraduate students engaged in K-12 classrooms. Students are from seven high needs, suburban and urban schools, with large minority enrollments. Part of the Intellectual Merit of the proposal is that the Fellows will use engineering as a vehicle to integrate math and science learning by K-12 students in the seven participating schools. The Fellows will become "engineering ambassadors," who deliver a hands-on engineering curriculum that addresses state educational STEM standards and serve as role models for grades 3-12 students to link the study of math and science to future careers in engineering and technology. This project is receiving partial support from the Directorate for Engineering.

这个轨道2，GK-12项目建立在现有的关系和基础设施上，在以前的GK-12项目与两个学区服务不同的学生传统上在工程和工程与应用科学学院代表性不足。该项目的影响力非常大。 研究员与合作教师合作，正在通过3-12年级的预工程计划提高高需求学校的STEM素养，并正在学习成为K-12课堂本科生的有效服务学习导师。 学生来自七个高需求，郊区和城市学校，有大量的少数民族入学。 该提案的部分智力价值在于，研究员将利用工程作为一种工具，将七所参与学校的K-12学生的数学和科学学习结合起来。 研究员将成为“工程大使”，他们提供实践工程课程，解决国家教育STEM标准，并作为3-12年级学生的榜样，将数学和科学的学习与未来的工程和技术职业联系起来。 该项目得到工程局的部分支持。职务名称：轨道2，GK-12：培养和建设未来的劳动力：3-12年级工程连续体机构：科罗拉多大学博尔德分校PI/Co-PI：Jacquelyn Sullivan，Lawrence Carlson和Malinda Schaefer合作学区：博尔德谷学区（BVSD），丹佛公立学校（DPS）每年研究员人数：8名研究生，2-6名本科工程学生目标受众：3- 12年级设置：郊区和城市NSF支持的学科：地球，生命，一般和物理科学;工程;数学
