Connecticut Pathways to Innovation 21

康涅狄格州创新之路21世纪世纪（CPI 21）项目正在为来自历史上代表性不足的城市，郊区和农村CT学区的学生做好准备，并通过完成衔接高中和大学课程，为STEM职业发展劳动力技能，从而获得两年和四年的STEM大学学位。它正在12所城市高中和12所郊区高中实施STEM学院，以：1）提供基于体验式学习的课程，包括三门新开发的数字媒体选修课程; 2）培养教师提供学院课程的能力; 3）提供挑战学生研究，开发，设计和提出他们独特解决方案的经验。STEM学院使高中学生能够获得多达15个社区大学学分，这些学分是使用在线和面对面教学提供的课程。该项目的成果和教育资源通过NSF ATE/ITEST项目和区域中心、教育机构、财团和专业协会在全国范围内传播;由来自各种企业、大学、K-12、政府和非营利实体的利益相关者组成的咨询委员会指导。

The Connecticut Pathways to Innovation 21st Century (CPI21) project is preparing students from historically underrepresented urban, suburban, and rural CT school districts and developing workforce skills for STEM careers through the completion of articulated high school and college coursework that leads to two- and four-year STEM college degrees. It is implementing a STEM Academy in 12 urban and 12 suburban high schools to: 1) offer an experiential learning-based curriculum that includes three newly developed digital media elective courses; 2) build teacher capacity to deliver the Academy curriculum; and 3) provide experiences that challenge students to research, develop, design, and present their unique solutions to authentic problems. The STEM Academy enables high school students to earn up to 15 community college credits for courses that are delivered using on-line and in-person instruction. The project's results and educational resources are being disseminated nationally through NSF ATE/ITEST Projects and Regional Centers, educational agencies, consortia, and professional associations; guided by an advisory board consisting of stakeholders from a variety of business, college, K-12, government, and not-for-profit entities.
