What is STOMP?
Overview
STOMP stands for the Student Teacher Outreach Mentorship Program. The STOMP model is designed to create partnerships between STEM "experts" and K-12 classrooms to assist K-12 teachers in developing and implementing interactive STEM lessons. Through this model, "experts" in the form of university students, high school students, and industry employees collaborate with K-12 educators to develop curriculum and resources aiding the long-term sustainability of STEM education. K-12 teaches benefit from the partnership by gaining knowledge of STEM concepts, subsequently becoming more comfortable with engineering and implementing engineering-based activities in their classrooms. STOMP participants, or fellows, also benefit in that they are awarded an opportunity to work with their local community gaining communication, teaching, and leadership skills.
History
High school students working with elementary and middle school students as mentors in STEM... sounds like a winning combination.
