| Funded
by the National Science Foundation, SIT SIMs are work-related simulations
in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), the
projects were developed by teams of industry professionals and Oakton
Community College faculty, and were reviewed by high school teachers
, the simulations will provide high school students with work-based,
hands-on learning opportunities. To participate, each math and science
teacher will select a group of five to seven students who can demonstrate
a strong interest in STEM and who are high-potential, but not necessarily
high-achieving. Teachers will participate alongside students.
Students will experience two real-world
STEM problem simulations presented by industry professionals and
gain confidence from working in teams with teachers. Teachers
will receive real world applications for classroom use, a stipend
of $200 for participation, and CPDU's.
