Now in its fourth year, Camp EAGER continued to expand its reach this summer. An experimental summer camp developed by researchers at the William & Mary School of Education, it explores innovative ways to encourage more students from underrepresented groups to pursue STEM careers.
EAGER Project Spotlight: Brandie & Esther
We are back in Lancaster County to continue our partnership for deeper learning. Selected teacher leaders from grades K-8 worked with us to create a cohesive district scope and sequence guide and unit resources in English Language Arts and Math, with opportunities for deeper learning and project-based instruction.
CILD co-director Dr. Meredith Kier was awarded a $300,000 Early-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to design and develop a novel research-practitioner partnership between Newport News Public School teachers, undergraduate engineering fellows from the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and undergraduate students from William & Mary.
