The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering awarded a $418,531 Project Grant titled "DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT: COLORADO SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING INQUIRY COLLABORATIVE" to the University of Colorado Boulder (CU), a U.S. state government educational institution, with a performance period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026.

The grant supports the design and development of an educational infrastructure to enhance rural Colorado middle and high school students' participation in and identification with engineering and science. This will be achieved through the creation of inquiry-based curricula integrating CU's environmental monitoring equipment, allowing students to investigate local environmental issues with support from CU engineering students and faculty. The project aims to advance knowledge on adapting university research tools for high school classrooms and their impact on engineering identity formation. Results will be disseminated through publications, conferences, and an NSF-supported digital library.
