Program Summary
Educators need help in the classroom bringing STEM-CS experiences to learners, pre-service educators need mentorship in STEM-CS content and pedagogy, and STEM-CS students need chances to practice skills in STEM-CS and presentation of STEM-CS content. This project will recruit undergraduate students majoring in STEM-CS and undergraduate students majoring in Education and partner them together in internship groups. These intern groups will be placed in a grades 8-12 classroom, where they will work together to support educators, while sharing and gaining knowledge of STEM-CS content, pedagogy, and the intersection of the two.

Why Should I Apply?
Undergraduate students will gain experiences in working with educators and bringing STEM-CS experiences to grades 8-12 learners.

Eligibility
• Undergraduate students with 30+ earned credits;
• Undergraduate students majoring in a STEM-CS content
area or Education; and
• Has a 2.5 GPA or higher

Commitment
Interns will visit a classroom 16 times during the course of the fall semester. During these visits interns will become familiar with the classroom environment and dynamics, student teach, collaborate to develop a STEM-CS education product, and develop content knowledge and pedagogical skills.

Support
Interns will work closely with DRI and UNR/UNLV faculty, in addition to their educator fellow that they are partnered with. Intern groups will also have access to a STEM-CS professional development series which will expose students to current education pedagogy, research, and hands-on STEM-CS methods.
