Opportunity for STEM Students!

MCC Geology Professors Barone and Colosimo have partnered with SUNY Geneseo, the Noyce Foundation (https://www.nsfnoyce.org/), and the National Science Foundation on a grant-funded program providing STEM students with the opportunity to investigate teaching practices in local K-12 classrooms as well as develop and implement their own lessons with their peers as part of a Noyce Creation Team.

If you are a student in a STEM pathway or major and are interested in potentially teaching in the K-12 school system, please view this brief video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=we2qbFMcenA for more information as well as a link to the application https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=qdP_rf8nWUWM7nRdowC5RcExXCPp479JpAy8HubNMk5UQ1RTTkpDN1RFUDZCNEtJMFlJMExHWjVIQSQlQCN0PWcu.  

A few additional details about the program:

  • Must be a STEM major or be in a STEM pathway
  • Can be a full- or part-time student
  • NSF requires participants to be US citizens
  • This is a one-semester commitment, but students can participate for multiple semesters.
  • As a result of participation and success in this program this semester, students will receive a $150 stipend. 
  • Successful students in this program who choose to transfer to SUNY Geneseo to pursue a degree in STEM Education are eligible for a full tuition scholarship for their junior and senior year! 

Please contact Prof Barone (jbarone@monroecc.edu) and Prof Colosimo (acolosimo@monroecc.edu) with any questions!
