EngrTEAMS Represented at White House Next Generation STEM Learning Forum

The EngrTEAMS research project was represented by the lead PI, Dr. Tamara Moore, during the Next Generation STEM Learning for All Forum supported by the NSF on November 9th, 2015 at the White House.

The Next Generation STEM Learning for All Forum was a capstone event to a week of administrative events supporting next generation learning. Thought leaders across the nation were invited to the White House to focus on the potential to transform STEM Learning and Education, strategizing how to best achieve collective impact, and coordinate toward national goals for STEM Education.

Of the many activities throughout the event, a highlight of Dr. Moore’s experience was participating in a group discussion around achievement gap with fellow researchers as well as advocate, philanthropist and rapper MC Hammer.

“I believe I was selected to participate in the discussion around achievement gap because of the range of partner districts on the EngrTEAMS project that provide great insights and experience”, says Dr. Tamara Moore.

The EngrTEAMS project was also represented during a poster session designed to showcase NSF-funded research and development, engage a broad community of stakeholders and facilitate networking across stakeholder groups.
