Participants
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.
