Activity #1: Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Lab Television Series <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Purpose:<\/strong> To provide exciting hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and teaching strategies through distance learning to help teachers improve students\u2019 test scores and interest in STEM-related subject areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description:<\/strong> This cable in the classroom and live-streamed Internet series is designed to increase student interest in STEM-related careers. Each week, a science facilitator will present exciting STEM demonstrations developed around the National Science Education Standards that relate STEM to the real world. The series will also incorporated hip-hop music to help anchor the principles and concepts presented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location:<\/strong> Philadelphia School District PSTV Studio, 440 N. Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA and Grand Hank STEM Center<\/a>, 501 East Armstrong Street, Philadelphia, PA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity #2: STEM – Energy Road Show <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Purpose:<\/strong> To generate an early interest and new proficiency in the core subjects needed to prepare for and subsequently pursue careers requiring a solid grasp of STEM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description:<\/strong> The Live STEM Demonstration Tour will be a spin-off of the \u201cSTEM Lab\u201d television series and will serve as a direct outreach program to students. This high voltage, exciting experience works to: Increase academic achievement among at-risk youth; Raise self-esteem and instill self-confidence; Offer a powerful learning tool to help children see and start to reach for their maximum learning potential; Encourage educators to consider innovative and effective teaching models; and Showcase future career possibilities by engaging and involving STEM-based and Energy industry employers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location:<\/strong> The tour will travel nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity #3: STEM Teacher Training Workshop: Turning Students On To STEM Using Hip-Hop Music and Hand-on Demonstrations <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Purpose:<\/strong> To provide creative solutions to helping teachers improve urban and at-risk students performance in STEM related subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description:<\/strong> This high-energy workshop is designed to help teachers get a handle on teaching the fundamentals of STEM subjects to urban and at-risk students. This multimedia approach incorporated \u201cMultiple Intelligence\u201d and \u201cInquiry Based\u201d teaching strategies. By integrating hip-hop music with hands-on STEM demonstrations, this workshop is designed to help teachers challenge and get students excited about STEM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Location:<\/strong> To be held on-site at school and meeting facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activity #4: Summer STEM Camp <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Purpose:<\/strong> To provide urban and at-risk youth with hands-on STEM experience during the summer to improve their skill, confidence and provide a safe alternative when school is not in session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description:<\/strong> The STEM program is designed to help students in the area of STEM by integrating a curriculum-based approach combined with exciting hands-on activities.
