STEM Summer GIRL
Camp
The
C-STEM GIRL Camps are focused on motivating girls in middle school entering
7th or 8th grade in Fall 2015 to learn computing and STEM concepts through a
fun and exciting robotics-based curriculum. We hope this leadership camp will
enable them to serve as leaders and inspire other young girls to gain
interest in science and technology through creating and joining robotics
clubs in their schools and participating in the RoboPlay Competition on
C-STEM Day. The camp participants are also eligible for the Girl’s
Leadership Award.

$1.8M
CDE Grant, CaMSP PRISM
This C-STEM project entitled “Programming
and Robotics Integrated into Science and Mathematics (PRISM)” is funded with
$1.8 million dollars for three years by the CaMSP program of the California Department of Education, through
a partnership with Solano County Office of Education (SCOE). The project
provides intensive and follow-up training in science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics for STEM teachers. The project is
recruiting over sixty highly qualified math, physical science or math-based
Career Technical Education teachers from 6 school districts to participate in
the project. PRISM will provide new modules that integrate mathematics
and science with technology and engineering through computer
programming and robotics, rooted in the current C-STEM curriculum and
courses.
STEM teachers from the participating districts in Solano County and Contra Costa are encouraged to participating in the project and can found more info about the project at the website . |
The
C-STEM Center showcased through Change the Equation|STEMWorks

Approved
A-G Courses
As
of August 2014, C-STEM has been granted UC A-G Program Status. This means
that high schools can easily add C-STEM A-G approved courses to their own
school's “A-G” course lists without submitting a complete course content
description and going through the traditional approval process with UCOP. In
2014-2015 academic year, in addition to the middle school curriculum, we
fully support the following C-STEM
A-G approved courses :
