100Kin10 has awarded the Colorado School of Mines $160,000 to partner Mines’ students with local early elementary classrooms. “Partnerships for STEM Identity: PSI3, a collaboration between the University of Northern Colorado and the Colorado School of Mines, reimagines science and math teacher preparation by pairing teacher candidates with seasoned elementary teachers to co-design and deliver engaging STEM lessons to K-3 classrooms. This Early Childhood Active STEM Challenge Grant will enable us to both continue to nurture this program, while also broadening the reach of the project and expanding the number of STEM teacher candidates who are able to improve their pedagogical skills and the number of classroom teachers who receive rich, age appropriate content,” said Wendy Adams, Director of Science Education from the University of Northern Colorado.
