Total number of students reached: ~8,000-10,000 • 2010 Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program hosted 21 students • 2010 Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) program hosted 14 teachers; 6 of these teachers are from Title I schools • Secured funding for the SciGirls Program, a partnership with Public Television to encourage mid-high girls to pursue STEM careers. • Published paper on “Research Experiences for Teachers (RET): Motivation, Expectation, and Changes to Teaching Practices due to Professional Program Involvement.” Pop, M. M., Dixon, P., & Grove, C. Journal of Elementary Science Education 21(2), 127-148(2010). • Presented research on the effectiveness of RET and SciGirls programs at national education conferences Justin Mincey of Bethune-Cookman University (an HBCU institution) conducts engineering research with Yan Xin The REU’s at the Magnet Lab’s FSU branch represented 17 universities and worked with 19 science mentors

  2. Partnerships Encourage STEM CareersGregory S. Boebinger, Florida State University, DMR 0654118Center for Integrating Research & Learning Center for Integrating Research and Learning partnerships help the Magnet Lab reach diverse audiences to promote career choices in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. Public Television’s enthusiastic partnership with the Magnet Lab has enabled CIRL to offer SciGirlsto middle and high school girls interested in science. CIRL partnering with ERC FREEDM, the FSU Center for Advanced Power Systems, North Carolina State University, and Arizona State University facilitates Renewable Energy Camps and Young Scholars programs. Community partners Barnes & Noble, Chik-Fil-A and WFSU-TV help the Magnet Lab reach early readers and engage children and their families in the excitement of science. Through partnerships with area schools, school districts and academic departments, CIRL assists teachers in gaining science content and STEM skills to reach thousands of students over their entire careers.
