Organizations Filed Purposes:
The purpose for which this foundation is formed are for purely charitable purposes, regardless of race, color or creed to provide educational programs to students. The foundation develops programs in conjunction with educational institutions and helps implement them in classroom settings. These programs will focus on science, technology, engineering and math (stem) topics as these are becoming increasingly important in today's world and the programs will enable students to pursue careers in these fields.
The Foundation conducts STEM Week programs for the schools located in the state of Massachussets and City of Boston. The Foundation develops immersive project-based science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programs for middle school students with the intent of increasing the number of students, especially girls and other traditionally under-representdgroups, who persue STEM fields of study and eventually careers in STEM. In partnership with schools and other educational institutions, the Foundation transforms middle schools into STEM learning labs to expose and engage students in different STEM fields. During STEM Week, regularly scheduled course periods are replaced by hands-on curriculum developed by MIT and a number of other leading STEM organizations. Over the five days, teachers and students work in teams to solve real-world problems in a classroom where hands-on experimentation, critical thinking, and collaboration are encouraged and used as teaching techniques to engage and inspire students.i2 programs are designed to be implemented with teachers and students of all backgrounds and abilities, including English language learners.
Curriculam development and course kits:i2 Learning has partnered with over 20 of the world's leading STEM organizations to develop 60 unique hands-on STEM courses. All courses are 20-25 hours of hands-on, project-based curriculum, designed to be taught over the course of a week. The courses can be run for students of all abilities and backgrounds in grades 48 and all curriculum maps to the Next Generation Science Standardsi2 Learning provides complete course kits containing all materials needed to run each of the courses. Some courses have technology requirements such as laptops and internet access that i2 does not provide and these requirements are discussed with schools before choosing an appropriate program. Teacher and student guides are available for each course, with some course booklets available in Spanish.
Newark STEM program ; prior to leading Newark STEM Week, teachers attend a multi-day professional workshop in interdisciplinary STEM curriculum and project-based pedagogy.
