This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports a collaborative research effort between Northern Virginia Community College (NVCC) and the University of Colorado Boulder's PhET Interactive Simulations Project. The $539,534 award, effective October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2028, aims to establish a regional professional learning community of well-qualified 8th through 10th grade teachers. The objective is to integrate chip industry content and evidence-based practices into secondary education classroom instruction, responding to the growing demand for supporting the chip industry in the region. The project will develop interactive PhET simulations and lesson plans for teaching the fundamental science principles behind chip industry and data center operations. It will also provide field-based capacity building experiences with industry partners, leadership skill development, summer institutes, and train-the-trainer opportunities for the participating teachers.
