  2. Recruiting and Retainingunder-represented groups in Science and Engineering through K-12 Outreach Programs Oregon State University Chemical Engineering Model

  3. Pathways to Higher Education through K-12 Programs • OSU has many K-12 Programs that focus on Science and Engineering • K-5 Engineering and Science Summer Camp • Middle School Engineering Summer Camp • High School Summer Camp (SESEY) • K-12 in-school and campus visits • Family Science and Engineering Nights • Community Events (COE open house)

  4. The Mentoring Pyramid

  5. SKIES - Spirited Kids in Engineering and Science provides many “wow” and “how” science and engineering experiences to the K-5 Student

  6. Middle School EngineeringCamp (E-Camp) Girls and boy get a chance to learn about and experience hands-on engineering in a fun and supportive environment

  7. E-CAMP 2005

  8. Latino Middle School Camp • Hosted in the Salem area by OSU Extension and Mario Magana • Residential 1-week camp • Skip Rochefort and undergraduates provide instruction • 80 students

  9. AWSEMAdvocates for Women in Science, Engineering & Math • An after-school club for middle school girls • Members meet every other Saturday to explore science and engineering through hands-on activities and visits to research labs • A Saturday Academy Program • Instructors: OSU undergraduate women

  10. SESEYSummer Experience in Science & Engineering for Youth • 9-11th graders • One week residential camp on OSU campus • Especially serves women and minorities • Directed by Skip Rochefort (ChE) • Continuously since 1996

  11. Summer Experience in Science and Engineering for Youth The SESEY RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

  14. Corvallis Community Events • da Vinci Days in Corvallis brings thousands of families to the OSU campus • Activities for youngsters of all ages and their parents • 1200+ /3 years

  15. Community OutreachFamily Science and Engineering Nights • Skip Rochefort and OSU undergraduate and graduate students take OSU into the community through hands-on activities in classrooms • Elementary Schools • Middle Schools • High Schools • Other

How To Get Started in K-12 Outreach *Find an interested Faculty member or Campus Outreach Program - need $$$ -- NSF broader impact! *Develop some simple and fun activities - SAP in baby Diapers; gel beads; reaction car competition *Contact some local K-12 teachers - K-5 classroom visits are FUN! - Middle School visits are challenging! - High School visits are unpredictable??? - 9 &10 grade integrated science classes - AP Chemistry, Physics, Math * Join in Science Fairs & Community Events

  20. CONTACT for Help in Getting Started Dr. Skip Rochefort skip.rochefort@oregonstate.edu http://che.oregonstate.edu/education
