Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries partners with NYSTEA

Submitted by jstark on Wed, 02/18/2009 - 08:57.

The Beacon Institute for Rivers and Estuaries is partnering with NYSTEA for the 2010 Annual Conference providing educational presentations. They have also invited NYSTEA and Technology Education teachers from around the State to participate in an NSF grant.
The Student Enabled Network of Sensors for the Environment using Innovative Technology (SENSE IT) project will integrate science, technology, pre-engineering and mathematics (STEM) skills into a robust interdisciplinary curricula and teacher development effort by teaching 3,000 New York State high school students to design, build, test, deploy and interpret their own environmental sensors.

SENSE IT will span three distinct residential regions in New York’s Hudson and St. Lawrence River valleys (Potsdam, Troy and Beacon), and reach at least 60 teachers in New York State, providing 120 hours of professional development, in-class support and necessary equipment, while directly increasing awareness of STEM career opportunities for students and teachers.
