St. Elmo Brady STEM Academy is an afterschool STEM program for 4th and 5th-grade students in Houston-area schools. It was created by Dr. Jerrod Henderson and Rick Greer and is supported in part by an ITEST grant from the National Science Foundation.
The goal of the program is to increase students' awareness of and interest in STEM careers.
Students enrolled in the program engage in hands-on engineering design projects every week, for eight weeks each semester.
A group of undergraduate STEM majors guides the students through the activities and also serves as mentors and role models.
This project was funded by the National Science Foundation, through the ITEST program, from 2018 until 2022.
In our research, I worked with Dr. Henderson, Dr. Mariam Manuel, Mr. Rick Greer, Dr. James Holly, and a team of graduate students to learn about our students' emerging engineering identity and the undergraduate students' roles as mentors. Click on the links below to read our research.
