Our outreach program leveraged the 5E instructional model to deliver an authentic laboratory experience throughout underserved areas of our school district. Pilot results demonstrate significant gains in student learning and high interest in repeat opportunities.

TAKEAWAYS:

Participants will take away a model of STEM outreach and an example lesson that can be easily implemented through a small team, even across a large school district.
