| PHILADELPHIA CHAPTER CHAPTER - Feb 19, 2015 |
STEM Teaching Tools Grant Awarded |
In February, the chapter recognized Tracy Edwards, science teacher at the Highland Park Program for Success School (Gloucester City, NJ), as the 2014 winner of a $1,000 AFCEA STEM Grant. Edwards' grant application purchased a 1-year school membership with Explore Learning's interactive site called Gizmos. The site enables up to 150 students to actively learn and manipulate information, equipment readings and data to answer questions and draw conclusions about a variety of science and mathematics topics. This computer-based learning will greatly benefit the students not only by teaching them important science, technology and mathematics topics/subjects but by increasing the amount of time each student spends on the computer. |
