Green STEM Residency Programs

In Partnership With

 

 

A National Industry Pipeline Initiative

 

 

EduSerc, in partnership with GreeNEWit, designs for schools a Young Innovators Green STEM Residency Program (GSRP), where real engineers, corporate professionals and mentors develop a structured year-long industry enrichment program that occurs either weekly or bi-weekly to train an entire school on STEM concepts to solve environmental challenges. 

Aligned as an industry application component to the Common Core, EduSerc's residency program serves the whole school (i.e. students, teachers and staff) to help provide supplemental skill development, professional development and industry exposure to connect students, parents and the community with industry concepts in STEM.

Our Green STEM Residency Program concentrates on the following:

  • Industry Exposure:  Provide a formal and interactive introduction to STEM / Green Careers.

  • Skill Development:  Implement periodic training for students in technical and professional areas.

  • Project-Based Learning:   Orchestrated by industry professionals in STEM fields, host a semester or yearlong STEM project for the school to reinforce leadership and teamwork in academics.

  • Industry Applications:  Host real engineers to build a real GREEN technological solution for your school that will be designed, implemented and lead thru by the bi-weekly in-class instruction of engineers.

  • Personal/Professional Development:  Embedded resume-building experiences and leveraged training for students, teachers and staff.

Benefits of Becoming a Green STEM Residency School

There are so many benefits of starting a pilot program at your school.  Below is a short list of benefits:

  • No Child is Left Behind:  Everyone receives STEM training in their classrooms (i.e. students, special needs, etc.)

  • Aligned with Standards:  Common core alignment or connection with public and private school academic outlines.

  • No Training for Teachers:  Trained professionals teach the students from EduSerc/GreeNEWit.

  • Improves School's Image:  Enhancement of the school's value and gives parents more of a reason to send their child to your school.

  • Pipeline Tracking:  EduSerc industry assessments for pipeline tracking for future jobs, internships and program referrals.

  • Greater Impact:  Increases the impact to the number of students in comparison to after-school programs with 10 - 30 students potentially.

  • Deliverables:  Schools receive multiple deliverables throughout the year and a final sustainable, engineered product made by the school and EduSerc engineers.

  • No materials needed:  EduSerc / GreeNEWit brings all engineering materials and supplies. 

  • Low Cost:  Minimal cost structure to implement with high value to the school, parents and students.

  • Multi-lingual / Diverse Staff:  Our staff are multi-lingual, diverse and serve as a representation of the diverse world in STEM
