Intel Confidential – Internal Use Only 4 Visibility Issues  School funding cuts –Limited inquiry science (K6)  Science research is an unknown –HS: pass AP science tests –College: research thesis  HS students can’t do real research  Competitions unknown –Which ones and benefits  Disconnect with 21 st Century Skills Strategies  Support strong policies –Personalized learning –Standards: rigor/relevance –Alternate assessments  Expose students to fairs –outreach, observers  Expose/involve faculty to science competitions –benefits to students –high levels of work  Expose students to competition opportunities

Intel Confidential – Internal Use Only 5 Culture Issues  Isolated Teachers –Reinventing wheel –Competing  Science – not for me –Nerdy, not smart, why  Science – purely for academic interest, not competition  Education costs rising sharply  Celebrate athletics not academics Strategy  Connect Teachers –Critical friends –Share resources –Honor commitment  Increase prestige - IPYS  Celebrate Student Success –make it fun, cool, visible –local, state, nation  Existing programs –Connect to fairs, share costs  See in action – paint picture
