Educators
The STEM Advancement Program (STEMAP) engages students from New Mexico regional universities, community colleges and tribal colleges in the research funded by New Mexico EPSCoR. This summer, students will participate in a week of workshops at New Mexico Tech on energy topics and scientific research and spent eight weeks working with New Mexico EPSCoR-funded faculty and students on cutting edge research that is important to New Mexico. The summer program concludes with the STEMAP Student Research Conference on July 30 at which the students present their results.
This meeting is an opportunity for all project participants to showcase their work, continue to expand and deepen their collaborations, and discover new possibilities for cyberinfrastructure-enhanced research and education. Our External Advisory Board members, experts from around the nation, will be attending to hear about our progress and provide their expert advice on how to achieve our project goals.
Join us for an engaging hands-on software development workshop presented by the experts from Software Carpentry. You will accelrate from zero-to productive with the skills you will learn:
Interdisciplinary Innovation Working Groups (I-IWG) provide a venue for researchers, educators, and nationally recognized experts to address grand challenges that require an interdisciplinary approach to transform science. I-IWG support (up to $7500) is aimed at working groups that emphasize the collaborative development and testing of important ideas and theories, cutting-edge analysis of recent or existing data and information, the use of sound science policy and management decisions, and investigation of social issues that pertain to energy development that minimizes impacts on water and the environment.
The Infrastructure Seed Award (ISA) program is designed to increase the impact of NM EPSCoR on the undergraduate student population at New Mexico’s non-PhD granting institutions. The intent of the Infrastructure Seed Awards program is to increase the access of undergraduate students, especially women and members of underrepresented groups, to research experiences by increasing non-PhD granting institutions’ capacity to provide research experiences for students.
A comprehensive professional development course for teachers that provides all the necessary ingredients for building a scientific way of thinking in teachers and students, focusing on science content, inquiry, and literacy.
All hands on deck for the 2015 NM EPSCoR All Hands Meeting! This year the meeting will be held at New Mexico Tech's Joseph E. Fidel Center. Due to construction on campus, parking will be limited; click the title to see the map and the agenda.
Jamie Bell will present an overview of the Center for the Advancement of Informal Science Education (CAISE) and informalscience.org, an online community and collection of informal STEM learning projects, evaluation, and research resources. He will characterize the current state of Informal Science Education (ISE) Networks, describe CAISE’s role in convening ISE Networks, and invite discussion about further directions for and research on ISE Networks.
NM EPSCoR will be hosting four introductory webinars on the STEM Advancement Program and the Undergraduate Visualization and Monitoring Network. Webinars are projected to be 30 minutes long. Click the title for dates & times!
