Each design team targeted to include 10 high school students,
one STEM area high school teacher from the participating
school district, one U/GSA and one postsecondary STEM
content expert from participating higher education colleges
and schools. Each design team, therefore, targeted 13 collaborating
members. STEM teachers team taught and shared
the planning and instruction of all project activities with
postsecondary STEM content faculty. Each design team
included the participation of a U/GSA as an important
member of the support structure. One specialized member of
the project leadership team (in STEM areas) led each design
team.
