BSCS is the external evaluator for this new McREL (Mid-Continent Research Lab) project, which will develop and evaluate NanoExperiences, an out-of-school-time program that combines academic learning with additional supports—setting high expectations, building background knowledge, and motivating students—all to prepare students for postsecondary learning and credentials leading to participation in the STEM workforce.
This project is funded through the ITEST program at NSF.
BSCS Science Educator Rebecca Kruse and Research Associate Molly Stuhlsatz are leading this evaluation work.
BSCS programs incorporate a conceptual framework that is clear, progressive and integrated with many pedagogical strategies. The concepts build in a way that students understand. The activities, investigations, and readings engage students in a way that allows them to "have fun" while learning, opening them up to the natural world around them.
