Need

Students at university have little experience teaching and thus often find out late they don’t like it or they stay out of the career path because they have not experienced being a teacher and the rewards of the career.
Goals Provide an entry pathway for STEM majors to get a taste of informal education and working with children to have a better idea if this is a career they want to pursue.
Approach summer science experiences linked to the curriculum the child will go into.
Outcomes we have developed a long term sustainable method to educate the students and at the same time provide initial training to the teachers in training.
Broader Impacts this provides a relatively sustainable model for other areas, especially in low income rural and urban areas in which MS students have relatively few, affordable STEM opportunities in which they can participate.
