  1. A Focus On STEM Education Through the Eyes of a PPPS/CDI intern Mounica Gummadi

  2. What are PPPS and CDI? • The Penn Program for Public Service Internship and Civic Development Internship • PPPS is a summer-long internship program through the Netter Center that offers students an opportunity to simultaneously take an Urban Studies course with Dr. Harkavy while working in the West Philadelphia community (ABCS). • In this course, students learn how to propose a PSL (problem-solving learning) paper where they present a feasible solution to a problem in the community that they find important. • Students chosen as CDI interns continue their work with the PSL by implementing their solutions.

  3. MY PSL • Problem: STEM education in West Philadelphia Schools • Solution: To strengthen already existing programming to increase the impact made by university students. • Focus on increasing fellow support within the Moelis Access Science program which impacts the work that students do in the classrooms.

  4. Work as a CDI • Continue work as a Moelis Access Science fellow while trying to implement some of the changes that I proposed in my PSL • Worked throughout this year with MAS leadership to both understand and change how teaching fellows are supported for their work in the classroom. • Major recent developments include the implementation of site coordinators at partner schools as well as site meetings with teachers, school officials, fellows and MAS leadership.

  5. Personal Development • Knowing I have the power to create change • Putting my ideas into action • Building and maintaining relationships/partnerships • Following through with a plan despite the challenges
