拉格兰德，俄勒冈. – 美高梅线上官网’s Greater 矿石gon STEM (GO STEM) Hub is helping break barriers and providing support to give students across Eastern 矿石gon direct access to engaging computer science education tools and 专业发展. The 矿石gon Department of Education has awarded $6 million of the $10 million investment from the 矿石gon Governor’s Computer Science Initiative to the 13 STEM Hubs in 矿石gon. EOU’s GO STEM Hub intends to use their portion of this grant to provide free computer science materials, 专业发展, and support for Eastern 矿石gon schools. 另外, the effort will curate a menu of items that schools can incorporate to support and improve upon their current computer science capacity/abilities, meeting the students where they are at. 

“We are excited to have the opportunity to provide computer science materials and experiences for our students.” David Melville, Executive Director of GO STEM said. “The goal is to have materials in the hands of Eastern 矿石gon students this spring!”

通过这种努力, GO STEM has hired three EOU students to help in ensuring this project is a success. Two student workers are Computer Science majors and one Education Master’s student have been hired to aid in this project. These students have been working closely with the GO STEM team to provide insight and collaboration on new and innovative ways to aid Eastern 矿石gon schools on their road to making computer science programs more readily accessible to students. 

In speaking about this project, 约旦罗杰斯, a senior majoring in Computer Science at EOU 共享,, “Getting the opportunity to work with the GO STEM team and the equipment within this grant has been an absolute blast! With the systems in this grant, these kids will gain opportunities in learning some of the ways that code works and hopefully it will inspire some passion for them to keep pursuing computer science in the future.” 

The projects from this grant will also help prepare 矿石gon students for an increasingly digital future workforce, as well as to help youth develop important cognitive and critical thinking skills through computer science lessons and learning. 斯蒂芬妮霍洛威学院, Program Director of the GO STEM Hub, 共享,, “It is incredible to have this opportunity to share engaging computer science materials with schools. Having the help of the EOU students has been an incredible asset to this project. This larger grant is a tremendous learning opportunity for all of us, and it is exciting to see how everything is coming together.” 

The GO STEM Hub provides P-12 STEM educational resources, 专业发展, 和推广, and provides pipelines and pathways into STEM careers. It serves seven Eastern 矿石gon Counties: Morrow, Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Baker, Grant, and Harney. To learn more about the GO STEM program visit go-stem.org/.
