engagement and interactions in Arizona Science Center. .2099
Students will be able to share their Challenge Cohort solutions in-person with other grant participant students and be
recognized by the Arizona Science Center for their accomplishments. Students will engage with STEM Professionals
who will provide further feedback and commendation for their STEM problem solutions. STEM Professionals will also
accompany small groups to interact and guide hands-on experiences within the museum. This annual activity will
contribute to the development of STEM Identity that matches Engineering STEM Identity's theoretical framework
and aligns to ESI Objective 1.2.
I look forward to seeing the project succeed, and wholeheartedly support your efforts.
