The National Girls Collaborative Project

New
Issue 9

February 12, 2019 by Karen Peterson Leave a Comment

Girls start off strong in math and science, participating and achieving at similar rates as boys, but lose interest and confidence in their skills as they grow older. Although equally capable, girls’ interest and confidence in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) begins to decrease in middle school when they are developing their identities and starting to f … [Read more...]

Although everyone’s circumstances were very different, the trends and themes of our stories were all connected, and we d … [Read more...]

Understanding Nature Through Active Listening

Issue 8

December 13, 2018 by Bryan Pijanowski and Maryam Ghadiri Leave a Comment

Sounds are all around us and are useful sources of information for scientists. Unfortunately, we are living in an earbud society in which many youth and adults have “turned off their ears” and go through their daily lives not noticing the wonderful sounds occurring around them. A comprehensive, environmentally oriented STEM education project called “Global Soundscapes: Big Data, … [Read more...]

Minnesota 4-H seeks to improve the quantity and quality of out-of-school STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) experiences for middle school–age youth. In 2013 the Minnesota STEM team, a statewide team of 4-H staff charged with providing leadership for STEM programming, collaborated to create the Engineering Design Challenge (EDC) to engage youth across the state in … [Read more...]

To all our readers:

The NSF grant that NSTA and ASTC used to build Connected Science Learning has concluded. We’ve come a long way. It enabled us to find common ground in the K-12 and informal science educator communities. We published two issues and reached thousands of readers. 3,200 of you signed up to receive alerts from us when new content is hot-off-the-press. Now is the time we ask you to take the leap with us. If everyone reading this just this month gave $5, our fundraiser would be done. That’s right, the price of a cup of coffee is all we need. At CSL, we believe science matters. Please help us keep CSL online and growing.

Thank you — David Evans, NSTA Executive Director
