Science-House.org works with K12 children for students at NC State.
Title
The Science House
Description
The Science House works in partnership with K-12 teachers to emphasize the use of hands-on learning activities in mathematics and science. Through school demonstration programs, student science camps, teacher workshops and innovative laboratory training, and support projects, The Science House annually reaches over 5,000 teachers and 25,000 students in 60 North Carolina counties. The activities of The Science House bring the science, mathematics and technology expertise of NC State University to enhance teacher effectiveness and to help students visualize careers in these disciplines. The Science House is itself a partnership of faculty and staff from science and education departments across the NC State campus and collaborates with many other K-12 support organizations in North Carolina. Exemplary Science House programs include:
The NSF EMPOWER project helps over 100 middle school mathematics and science teachers to use computer-based laboratory technology in their classrooms. The Science House provides teacher training and circulates lending libraries of equipment to these mostly rural schools scattered across eastern North Carolina. The Science House uses this pioneering model of training and academic-year support in high schools from the mountains to the coast. Similar projects include the Rural Schools Programs and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Precollege Program.
The Imhotep Academy, named for the architect of the step pyramids, helps students from populations that are under-represented in the sciences to explore through hands-on learning activities. They learn about ways in which individuals from different races and cultures contribute to present-day science and technology. The Imhotep Academy is just one of the Science House's exploration programs for students that encourages science learning and research.
