Project Summary
NSF GK-12 Track 2 Project STEP -- a partnership of UC faculty and 5 graduate Fellows, 5 strategically chosen
high schools, and community and industrial partners -- strives to further improve STEM
interest and skills of high school students using engineering as a context for authentic learning
through an overarching project, “Building STEMcinnati City.”
Our primary goals are:
1) to train, energize, and sustain graduate engineering, math and science Fellows to effectively
teach STEM skills to secondary school students;
2) develop hierarchical and expandable STEM lesson plans that explicitly connect key concepts at
different grade levels; and
3) plant the seeds of systemic change at UC and K-12 schools through synergistic partnerships that ensure
the sustainability of the program beyond NSF funding.
