AMP-IT-UP: Science and Math Curriculum Modules to Cultivate the Next Generation of STEM Innovators
Session Format
Workshop (90 minutes)
Target Audience

Abstract for the conference program
The Advanced Manufacturing and Prototyping Integrated to Unlock Potential (AMP-IT-UP) project is an NSF-sponsored Math and Science Partnership between the Griffin-Spalding County School System and Georgia Tech’s Center for Education Integrating Science, Mathematics and Computing (CEISMC). The AMP-IT-UP curriculum consists of engineering coursework for middle and high schools and 1-week modules that integrate STEM practices for middle school science and mathematics classrooms. Three modules have been designed for each core math and science class across grades 6-8 and integrate the Georgia Standards of Excellence and the Next Generation Science Standards. Each module focuses on one of the practices of Experimental Design, Data Visualization and Data-Driven Decision Making, integrates math and science content, and uses grade level core ideas as a backstory to engage students. Middle school math and science teachers will experience hands-on activities associated with the modules, learn how to implement them, and receive access to all curriculum materials.
