SBIR Phase I: Learning Technology and Deployment - Transforming STEM Education

SBIR第一期项目的广泛/商业影响是在教育方面创造一个国家教育范式的转变，使学生成功，雇主有一个高技能，数学和科学熟练的员工储备；尤其是那些能够从职业生涯和大学毕业的学生，他们已经准备好在专业技术岗位上大展身手。这个项目的主要焦点是什么？S的方案拟订是为了吸引少数民族、女孩/妇女、残疾学生和其他代表性不足的人口，并积极影响这些人口的教育成就；尤其是在STEM技能方面。项目成果将产生可扩展的技术/专门知识，将影响广泛的教育领域，并将对目前无法大规模惠及的人口产生持续的经济、商业和社会效益。拟议的SBIR项目的商业成果将导致可销售的产品和/或过程，从而保证NSF的大力支持。该SBIR项目将创造可扩展的技术和专业知识，将影响广泛的教育领域，为学生和教师提供提高数学和科学技能的实用解决方案。该项目旨在通过创新设计，革新当前的教学技术教育模式，以改变学生对数学和科学的兴趣和熟练程度下降；为所有年龄段的学习者培养STEM（科学、技术、工程和数学）专业知识的基础。该项目将开发和部署引人注目的教育技术，以提高学生对数学和科学的兴趣、技能和熟练程度。为了实现这一目标，开发人员将通过包含开发设备、课程和方法的教学套件来制造、部署和商业化混合体验式教育技术。课程将侧重于stem目标的活动和项目，专门为高兴趣，多感官，动手的学生课程设计。采用高度吸引人的课程，使用专门为数学和科学教学的替代呈现而开发的教学策略，这是创新的，密集的，综合的，将是这个SBIR项目的主要目标。该项目旨在通过提供应用于现实生活技能的学习工具，为学生和教师在数学和科学教育方面提供实用的解决方案。在教学技术中嵌入了提高学生信心、能力和自尊的方法，特别是对那些得不到充分服务和代表性不足的学生；提高他们的大学和职业准备。

This SBIR Phase I project's broader/commercial impact is to create a shift of the national educational paradigm in education so students succeed and employers have a ready pool of highly skilled, math and science fluent employees; especially, students that can graduate career and college ready to fill and thrive in professional technical positions. A primary focus of this project?s programming is to attract minorities, girls/women, students with disabilities and other underrepresented populations and to actively influence these populations toward educational attainment; especially in STEM skills. The project outcome will result in scalable technology/know-how that will impact the broad arena of education and will have sustaining economic, commercial and societal benefits to populations not being reached on a large scale currently. The commercial outcome of the proposed SBIR project leads to a marketable product and/or process that warrant significant NSF support. This SBIR project will create scalable technology and know-how that will impact a broad arena of education leading the way to practical solutions for both students and teachers in math and science skill enhancement.The project aims to renovate the current educational model in instructional technology using innovative design to transform students' declining interest and proficiency in mathematics and science; cultivating a foundation for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) expertise in learners of all ages. The project will develop and deploy compelling educational technology that promotes student interest, skill and proficiency in mathematics and science. To achieve this, the developers will fabricate, deploy and commercialize hybrid experiential educational technology through instructional kits comprising developed apparatus, curricula and methodology. Curricula will be focused on STEM-targeted activities and projects specifically designed for high interest, multi-sensory, hands-on student lessons. Employing curriculum that is highly engaging using teaching strategies developed specifically for an alternative presentation of math and science instruction that is innovative, intensive, and integrated will be the primary objective of this SBIR project. This project is designed to offer practical solutions to both students and teachers in math and science educational enhancement by providing learning tools applied to real world life skills. Embedded in the instructional technology are approaches for students to increase confidence, competence, and self-esteem especially for underserved and underrepresented students; increasing their college and career readiness.
