Intellectual Merit: This CalWomenTech Scale Up Project (CWT Scale Up Project) is based on the successful, five-year GSE Extension Services grant. The original project worked with eight community college technology programs in California to increase the number of women recruited and retained to STEM programs in which they were underrepresented. The project also disseminated research-based proven strategies and resources to California educators and a limited national audience. The CalWomenTech Project has resulted in significant increases in the enrollment of female students and in the retention of both female and male students. The CWT Scale Up Project seeks to diffuse the core activities of the intensive CalWomenTech Project to a much larger audience of educational practitioners.The CWT Scale Up Project is based on research: both the CalWomenTech Project's own successful outcomes and on a literature review of the proven practices of other STEM practitioners, much of which can be found in IWITTS' online Proven Practices Collection (includes peer-reviewed articles, case studies, and webinars) developed by the CalWomenTech Project. Objectives include providing educational practitioners with workshops, webinars, and group coaching on recruitment and retention plan implementation, along with development of an online learning community. A professionally designed outreach campaign by an experienced social media networking consultant will feature CalWomenTech successful results, professional development opportunities, and the online Proven Practices Collection.Broader Impacts: The end goal of the CalWomenTech Scale Up Project is to increase the number of women in STEM. Our nation is enriched when women fully contribute to the advancement of science and technology. By giving practitioners nationwide the tools and knowledge they need to close the gender gap for women and girls in STEM classrooms, the CalWomenTech Scale Up Project has the power to change the lives and livelihoods of women for the benefit of all.This project is co-funded by the Advanced Technology Education program.

智力优势：这个CalWomenTech规模扩大项目（CWT规模扩大项目）是基于成功的，为期五年的GSE推广服务赠款。 最初的项目与加州的八个社区大学技术项目合作，以增加妇女被招募和保留到STEM项目的人数，而在这些项目中，妇女的代表性不足。 该项目还向加州的教育工作者和全国范围内的有限受众传播了经过验证的研究战略和资源。CalWomenTech项目使女生入学率和男女生保留率大幅提高。嘉信力旅运扩大项目旨在将密集的CalWomenTech项目的核心活动传播给更多的教育从业者。嘉信力旅运扩大项目基于以下研究：既有CalWomenTech项目自身的成功成果，也有对其他STEM从业者实践证明的文献综述，其中大部分可以在IWITS的在线STEM实践集合中找到（包括同行评议的文章，案例研究和网络研讨会）由CalWomenTech项目开发。 目标包括为教育从业人员提供关于招聘和留用计划实施的讲习班、网络研讨会和小组辅导，沿着在线学习社区的发展。一个由经验丰富的社交媒体网络顾问专业设计的推广活动将展示CalWomenTech的成功成果，专业发展机会，以及在线培训实践收集。更广泛的影响：CalWomenTech扩展项目的最终目标是增加STEM中的女性人数。当妇女充分为科学技术的进步做出贡献时，我们的国家就会变得更加富裕。通过为全国各地的从业者提供他们所需的工具和知识，以缩小STEM教室中妇女和女孩的性别差距，CalWomenTech扩展项目有能力改变妇女的生活和生计，造福所有人。该项目由先进技术教育计划共同资助。
