K-12

Abstract

The K-12 component supports the building of STEM talent with initiatives that are designed to meet local school needs and desires. There is professional development for middle and high school teachers available at summer institutes or in a modified, three-day, format which can be delivered locally. STEM teachers receive inquiry-based training and are partnered with DoD laboratory scientists and engineers. Informal educational activities included: “Lab TV” webisodes featuring laboratory scientific and engineering personnel demonstrating DoD technologies; DoD STEM summer camps; mentoring and student field trips to DoD laboratories.
