Compute-stem

​Compute-STEM is a project funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR).  The project aims to increase STEM knowledge by creating highly qualified teachers that can use inquiry and programming to teach science, analytical reasoning, and creativity.  This project also intends to increase awareness of workforce needs in computer science and develop computer programming as a discipline in secondary schools that can support learning across all subject matter.  Instructional Leadership Teams (ILTS) consisting of TUteach undergraduate students and secondary school in-service teachers from the Greater Philadelphia Region, will develop naval-centric STEM-coded lessons.  Each lesson will integrate coding and computer skills, across disciplines of biology, chemistry, environmental science and physics.  This new approach to STEM instruction will connect naval workforce applications, science and mathematics content, coding, computer applications and algorithmic thinking to multiple populations.

The Philadelphia Regional Institute
​for STEM Educators (PRISE)

The PRISE builds on ten years of partnership among ten institutions of higher education in the greater Philadelphia region Arcadia University, Bryn Mawr/Haverford Colleges, Community College of Philadelphia, Drexel University, La Salle University, Saint Joseph’s University, Temple University, University of Pennsylvania, Villanova University and West Chester University as well as regional STEM stakeholders including The Philadelphia Education Fund (PEF) and the School District of Philadelphia. This partnership grew out of common efforts to implement the National Science Foundation Noyce Scholarship program. We recognized that we could do more together than we could do individually to ensure equitable, high quality STEM teaching in the Philadelphia region.  All students in the Philadelphia region should have equitable access to high-quality STEM instruction. Supporting both the recruitment, retention and ongoing development of diverse and highly effective teachers is a critical element of supporting STEM education in the region.  To get involved and access resources with the PRISE, click here.

Junior Science and Humanities Symposium
Reaching More workshop

The goal of this project is to increase knowledge of and access to advanced STEM education utilizing research as a pathway to academic excellence.  Teachers work together to help their students learn the ins and outs of conducting and presenting research at the Junior Science and Humanities Symposium.
