Vision
The NWARSEF vision is to improve STEM education by encouraging students - future scientists, technologists, mathematicians and engineers - to explore STEM disciplines through their own research and problem/project based learning, to apply the knowledge gained from their research, and to communicate their results.
Goals
1. Enlist University research faculty and graduate student mentors, as well as research related community leaders, in fostering
a. communication within the K-12 education community
b. access to pertinent K-12 problem/project-based education materials and resources
2. Encourage K-12 teachers by providing
a. education opportunities that focus on communication skills, independent scientific investigations, data analysis, research paper composition, and display preparation
b. research materials and resources (online and on loan) for students, parents, and teachers.
3. Motivate K-12 students to pursue scientific undertakings through:
a. mentoring for intellectual rigor, creativity, and independence in scientific thinking
b. an annual forum for exhibiting student research projects that demonstrate scientific understanding, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills
c. recognition for student efforts through the public display of their work and rewards for excellence in the application of their research.
