  3. Carl Hayden Community High School • Inner city public high school (35th Ave & Roosevelt) • 93% Hispanic population • 100% of feeder school students on federal lunch program • Magnet Programs FermiLab

  4. And, over the last ten years there has been: 50% decline in student interest in engineering 14% decline in engineering degrees awarded to US students Interest in Engineering in the U.S. has declined for 20 Years Source: National Science Board: Science and Engineering Indicators 2002 FermiLab

  5. Engage Students in Science, Engineering, and Invention Try something New Students Create Technology Facilitate and Share Knowledge Be Creative Have Fun Our Mission Is To… “…to create a world where science and technology are celebrated….where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes….”.Dean Kamen FermiLab

  28. Commitments VEX robotics FIRST Lego Robotics FIRST Robotics MATE ROV “On the Drawing Board” DROVER Jr. High Articulation Lego Workshop Lego Scrimmage University Articulation Engineering Curriculum & certificate Change the Culture This Year’s Projects FermiLab

  29. AEAA Arizona Educational Academic Association • Modeled after AIAA, Arizona Interscholastic Athletic Association • Endorses or sanctions academic events such as FIRST, MATE, National History Day, Lego Robotics, Moot Court… • It uses events that are in existence, AEAA does not host events • Provides budget to any school that participates • Encourages payment to teachers equal to what athletic coach's earn • Renewable on a yearly basis, subject to review • Increase public awareness of academic extracurricular activities The vision is to positively transform culture by inspiring young people, their schools, and communities to appreciate science and technology.
