项目摘要

This project will advance efforts of the Innovative Technology Experiences for Students and Teachers (ITEST) program to better understand and promote practices that increase students' motivations and capacities to pursue careers in fields of science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) by preparing and interesting high achieving middle school students for advanced math courses in high school and eventually in engineering careers. The University of Central Oklahoma Strategies project ("STEM CareerBuilder") will engage with government, business, industry, and community partners to design, develop, implement, and evaluate an innovative summer program training girls in Computer Forensics (CF). The project aims to benefit society through the contributions to the future STEM workforce by better preparing today's digital learners with collaborative partnerships, innovative learning tools, career exploration opportunities, skill-acquisition venues, and education-workforce-development models. The project broadens the STEM participation by underserved population through strategic recruitment to target girls in Oklahoma where the highest representation of Native American tribes reside. Partnering with EPSCoR and TRiO-participating high schools will allow the project team to address the needs of girls from low-performing schools, low-income families, and underrepresented ethnic/racial groups.The goal is to discover what strategic partnerships and innovative interventions can effectively interest, motivate, and support female high school juniors and seniors to pursue STEM degrees and careers. The objectives include implementing interventions, measuring learner outcomes, and assessing results. The project team will collaborate with IBM, the FBI, the Forensics Science Institute, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, technology centers, and women-owned businesses to support the CF Program. The CF Program will consist of a summer academy, job shadowing, mentoring, internships, and research fellowships. This project aims to contribute new knowledge to ITEST's comprehensive workforce model by extending STEM learning in simulated and virtual environments. As the learning space and workplace of the future evolve around emerging technologies, examining how girls learn, work, and solve problems via immersive human-computer simulation and information communication technology will offer insights on how to encourage STEM participation with innovative research that establish the efficacy of the interventions. Project findings will deepen the understanding of: (1) the role of business, government, and industry professionals in promoting student awareness of job opportunities and motivating students to pursue the STEM education career pathway; (2) effective ways to broaden STEM participation by recruiting and engaging girls in STEM programs and career-exploration; (3) engaging girls in STEM interventions with age-appropriate curriculum and multi-faceted support; and 4) cohesive sets of experiential learning experiences in the workplace that effectively and efficiently support skills development.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目将推进学生和教师创新技术体验（ITEST）计划的努力，以更好地理解和促进提高学生在科学，技术，工程或数学（STEM）领域追求职业生涯的动机和能力的做法，为高中的高级数学课程和最终的工程职业做好准备。中央俄克拉荷马州战略项目的大学（“干职业建设者”）将与政府，企业，行业和社区合作伙伴参与设计，开发，实施和评估一个创新的暑期课程培训女孩在计算机取证（CF）。该项目旨在通过为未来的STEM劳动力做出贡献来造福社会，通过合作伙伴关系，创新的学习工具，职业探索机会，技能获取场所和教育劳动力发展模式更好地为当今的数字学习者做好准备。该项目通过战略性招聘，以美国土著部落最多的俄克拉荷马州的女孩为目标，扩大了未得到充分服务的人口对科学、技术、工程和数学的参与。与EPSCoR和TRIO参与高中的合作将使项目团队能够满足来自低绩效学校，低收入家庭和代表性不足的民族/种族群体的女孩的需求。目标是发现什么战略伙伴关系和创新干预措施可以有效地吸引，激励和支持女性高中三年级和四年级学生追求STEM学位和职业。目标包括实施干预措施，衡量学习者的成果，并评估结果。该项目团队将与IBM、联邦调查局、法医科学研究所、俄克拉荷马州调查局、技术中心和妇女拥有的企业合作，以支持CF计划。CF计划将包括暑期学院、工作指导、指导、实习和研究奖学金。该项目旨在通过在模拟和虚拟环境中扩展STEM学习，为ITEST的综合劳动力模型贡献新知识。随着未来的学习空间和工作场所围绕新兴技术的发展，研究女孩如何通过沉浸式人机模拟和信息通信技术学习，工作和解决问题，将为如何鼓励STEM参与创新研究提供见解，建立干预措施的有效性。项目研究结果将加深对以下问题的理解：（1）企业、政府和行业专业人员在促进学生对就业机会的认识和激励学生追求STEM教育职业途径方面的作用;（2）通过招募和吸引女孩参加STEM项目和职业探索，扩大STEM参与的有效方法;（3）让女孩参与STEM干预措施，提供适合年龄的课程和多方面的支持;和4）该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
