READY! SET! TRANSFER! 2.0 (RST 2.0)

国家科学基金会科学、技术、工程和数学奖学金(S-STEM)项目涉及西雅图第六社区学院的三所社区学院。准备好了！就位！北西雅图学院、南西雅图学院和西雅图中央学院实施的Transfer 2.0(RST 2.0)项目将为有才华的低收入学生提供奖学金和其他支持，帮助他们寻求天文学、生物、化学、计算机科学、工程学、地质学、数学、纳米技术、海洋学和物理学的职业生涯和转移副学位。除了奖学金，支持活动还包括教师指导、建议和转学研讨会，以及由研究和行业代表组成的STEM演讲者系列。将特别强调研究STEM学生开始学习发展数学所面临的独特挑战。为可能无法取得STEM学位的低收入和有学术天赋的学生提供奖学金和支持，将有助于培养一批训练有素的劳动力，为国家的经济福祉做出贡献。准备好了！就位！Transfer 2.0(RST 2.0)项目是基于之前NSF支持的西雅图学院第六区STEM人才扩展计划(STEP)项目的结果。这些学院将利用这一前一步奖励的资源和势头在学者之间建立社区，并提供丰富的循证课程支持，以促进留住和完成学业。这个由三所社区学院组成的团队将与西雅图大学的教育研究人员合作，更好地了解开始学习发展数学的STEM学生面临的独特挑战。这一合作将有助于STEM教育的知识基础，调查与社会阶层相关的结构不平等机制如何将STEM学生开始学习发展数学的经验和机会分层。该项目的调查结果将广泛传播给STEM教育界。项目团队将与当地和全国的受众交流，分享从定性和定量调查中得出的见解，这些调查是关于共同课程支持对有才华的低收入学生的影响。

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) project involves three community colleges of the Seattle Community Colleges District VI. The Ready! Set! Transfer! 2.0 (RST 2.0) project conducted by North Seattle College, South Seattle College, and Seattle Central College will provide scholarships and other support for talented, low-income students pursuing careers and transfer associate degrees in astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, geology, mathematics, nanotechnology, oceanography, and physics. In addition to scholarships, support activities include faculty mentoring, advising and transfer workshops, and a STEM speaker series of research and industry representatives. A particular emphasis will be placed on studying the unique challenges facing STEM students who begin their studies in developmental mathematics. Scholarships and support for low-income and academically talented students, who may not otherwise be able to obtain STEM degrees, will help to produce a well-trained workforce that will contribute to the economic well being of the nation.The Ready! Set! Transfer! 2.0 (RST 2.0) project is based on the results from a prior NSF-supported STEM Talent Expansion Program (STEP)project to the Seattle Colleges District VI. The colleges will utilize resources and the momentum from this prior STEP award to build community among scholars and provide a rich collection of evidence-based co-curricular supports to foster retention and completion. This team of three community colleges will work in collaboration with educational researchers from Seattle University to better understand the unique challenges facing STEM students who begin their studies in developmental mathematics. This collaboration will contribute to the knowledge base of STEM education by investigating how mechanisms of structural inequality related to social class stratify the experiences and opportunities of STEM students who begin their studies in developmental mathematics. The findings from the program will be disseminated widely to the STEM education community. The project team will communicate with local and national audiences to share insights developed from the qualitative and quantitative investigation of the impacts of co-curricular supports on talented low-income students.
