Abstract for the conference program
The Columbus Region Academy of Future Teachers of STEM (CRAFT-STEM) utilizes an internship program for university freshmen and sophomores and a STEM camp for pre-college students to encourage the interns to consider careers in teaching. Interns assist with camp activities and other projects, supported by funding from the National Science Foundation’s Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program (award #1136356). As part of an ongoing research project, we examine four years’ worth of data to identify strengths and weaknesses of the experience, and propose adaptations based on these findings.
