The University of Florida received a $313,342 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation on April 1, 2021 to enhance teacher and student understanding of engineering in K-5 bilingual programs. The project has a completion date of June 30, 2022. The grant was awarded under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), which supports development of a diverse and well-prepared STEM workforce.
Under the grant, the University of Florida will develop and introduce workshop sessions for participating K-5 teachers attending the MABE and CeiBA conferences. Dr. Esquinca of San Diego State University Foundation will assist as a sub-awardee, helping to develop the workshop sessions, conduct video-recorded observations and debriefings, and assist with data collection, analysis and dissemination for phases 2 and 3 of the project. The goal is to provide resources and support to help teachers integrate engineering concepts into bilingual K-5 classrooms.
