Stand-alone STEM concepts are taught for conceptual understanding and enrichment. Examples of courses include; How to Calculate Slope, The Periodic Table and Beyond, Understanding the Cell Membrane, Patterns in Nature and Math, and Basics of Coding, The Unit Circle. Lessons are designed for grades K-10. Courses are taught by STEM teachers and STEM professionals. The STEM Learning Series courses are offered approximately once a month.
The GWC-CASE offers professional development opportunities for in-service teachers who must acquire professional development to maintain their teaching licenses/certifications. The professional development focus is to orient PK-12 educators in STEM fields about the use of research driven best practices and content area literacies in the teaching of STEM subject areas. Participants meet regularly to receive career guidance, and advice on handling academic responsibilities.
STEM Activities- Character Education- Ethnic Studies- College & Career Preparation
With partnering school districts this program affords significant learning opportunities for both the participating students as well as their teachers. The strength of this program is rooted in the carefully developed and maintained partnership that exists between local Chicagoland schools and The Carver Science Center. More importantly, because of the level of commitment and the strength of the after-school program, this program reinforces science skills, character education and African-centered pedagogy.Afterschool programming affords significant learning opportunities for districts, schools and participating students. After-school programming reinforces science and engineering practices, inquiry skills, literacy, and social-emotional learning. The curriculum ensures that students can see their culture, history, and literacies reflected in the curriculum.
An After School Program designed for Scholars to take part in STEM experiences that seek to foster and sustain the history, traditions, and community values of a pluralistic society.
The Academy enrolls middle and high school students from historically underrepresented groups with the goal of preparing them for success in STEM subject areas. The learning activities provide an understanding of the expectations and possibilities for study and research in the STEM fields and introduce technological tools that can assist in learning mathematics and science.
The Academy provides an opportunity for middle school students from historically-underrepresented groups in the physical and biological sciences and mathematics to maximize their potential for success as they prepare for high school.
The Academy provides an opportunity for high school students from historically-underrepresented groups in the physical and biological sciences and mathematics to maximize their potential for success as they prepare for college studies. The activities seek to provide an understanding of the expectations and possibilities for study in the sciences, strengthen the mathematical background of the students, and introduce technological tools that can assist in learning mathematics and science. Academy students are grouped into research clusters that investigate key questions and topics from the following disciplines: a) Biology and Chemistry, b) Physics and Mathematics, and c) Psychology and Computer Science. The student teams report their findings in the form of research presentations on the last day of the Academy.
