STEM Website NAPE Website STEM Equity Pipeline Sponsored Webinar: Monica Bruning Date: Thursday, January 27, 2011 Time: 1PM ET, 12PM CT, 11AM MT, 10AM PT Cost: FREE! Presenter: Dr. Monica Bruning, Iowa State University Description: Female Recruits Explore Engineering - FREE is a collaborative research and outreach program conducted by researchers and educators from three Universities. In school and afterschool programs for high achieving 10th grade Latina, African-American, Native American, Asian American, and a few Caucasian girls were conducted to explore career possibilities in engineering. Two-thirds of the girls lived in families that qualify for free or reduced lunch at school and very few had considered engineering as a college or career choice. In addition to a variety of activities, the project developed a secure website for the girls to share their explorations, and each girl had a Blackberry smartphone to communicate with other FREE participants. Goals: During the webinar participants will: 1. Become aware of FREE as an intervention strategy to increase the participation of girls in STEM courses and careers. 2. Learn about implementing the project with an on-line tool kit. 3. Understand data focused on research questions related to girls pursing engineering careers.
