Building SELF STEAM
Abstract
Derby Public Schools, in Derby, Kansas, serves a significant number of military-connected students because of its proximity to McConnell Air Force Base. Through project “Building SELf STEAM”, Derby Public Schools will work to increase the number of Military-connected students who when given the choice, choose STEM-related courses. To support STEM instruction, we will provide stipends to after-school STEM-related club sponsors, and purchase supplies for these clubs (2 at each Elementary and 2 at each Middle School). We will also arrange for PLTW PD for the use of the VEX IQ robotics equipment, build and host “Girls Only” Summer STEM camps for elementary and middle school students, throughout the life of this grant, and use funds from this grant to further leverage the existing agreement we have with the premiere space museum an hour away (The Kansas Cosmosphere) to bring STEM content to all of our students.
