Abstract
STEMpowerment is a student-empowered learning community. The faculty provides guidance and instruction in the areas of our expertise and within the frame of empowerment of, by, and for youth. Faculty and community leaders work with STEMpowerment students in areas of leadership development, academic insights, understanding, knowledge creation, and advising for academic, research, and community organizing.
Description
IMPACT. 1: Program developers based their pilot program on the findings of Bob Moses, a noted civil rights activist, and founder of the Algebra Project. His book Radical Equations describes the power of youth movements, and necessity of access to STEM knowledge. -- 2. Much of this years' work is on developing the identity of the Ohio State learning community and the youth connection to the Mansfield community through youth/student voices while maintaining a focus on empowerment access, change, and leadership. -- 3. STEMpowerment students shared an overview of innovative STEMpowerment outreach and revealed early survey results of its effectiveness at the Ninth Annual Conference on Sustainability in Hiroshima, Japan.
