For over a decade, the Whitaker Center for STEM Education has sponsored a two week
event for middle school students interested in STEM. These students must have participated in
the Thomas Alva Edison Regional Science Fair. They must prepare an application to
be chosen to participate in a Summer Research Opportunity at Florida Gulf Coast University.
SRO offers a hands-on experience of collaboration on a complete and genuine research
problem from hypothesis generation and initial design, through field and laboratory
data collection, culminating in data analysis and interpretation. The SRO program
is staffed by FGCU faculty and Student Assistants and takes place each summer.
Your school is neither endorsing nor sponsoring this event nor endorsing the views
of FGCU.

In 2013 Dr. Joe Simmons, the first Backe Chair for Renewable Energy at FGCU, had a
vision to develop area high school student interest in engineering and renewable energy
technologies through a solar go-kart competition held on campus. Since that first
year the FGCU Faculty, Students, and Staff have worked hard to host and promote this
event, and we hope to continue to work with each of you to continue to improve SunChase
every year!

Girls in Engineering, Math and Science (GEMS) is a hands-on program dedicated to promoting
science education for all regional middle school students by enthusiastic professionals
and undergraduates as facilitators and role models in a supportive environment. GEMS
provides a launching pad to develop an early interest in engineering, math, and science
as an impetus to higher education and highly-skilled careers. Previous activities
have included bioengineering, chemistry, biological science, biotechnology, forensics,
astronomy, math, civil engineering and environmental science.

At the Schulze Summer STEM Institute for Teachers Workshop for K-12 educators, participants
will be immersed in the research-based practice of writing and facilitating engaging
inquiry-based STEM activities focusing on the SW Florida environment. Inquiry-based
pedagogies have been shown to improve student engagement, comprehension, and retention.
The workshop infuses technology into the week and incorporates field instruction.
FGCU faculty from the College of Education and the College of Arts and Sciences and
Conservancy Staff bring a balance of expertise to you during the workshop week.
The Whitaker Center for STEM Education at FGCU takes a systemic approach to enhancing
and reforming STEM education by providing professional development opportunities for
K-12 educators, conducting research in STEM teaching and learning, developing innovative
curricula, resources, and materials, developing and supporting programs for students,
and building strong community partnerships.
The Schulze Summer STEM Institute for Teachers workshops are developed through collaboration
between the Conservancy of Southwest Florida education staff, Whitaker Center FGCU
faculty associates, Vester Marine Field Station, and Lehigh Elementary STEM faculty.
The Schulze Summer STEM Institute for Teachers connects real-world environmental research
with evidence-based, hands-on instruction.
Since 2013, the STEM Institute has worked with over 200 K-12 teachers from the five
county area and beyond!
Summer camps are also offered at the Conservancy. Your child/children could experience
the wildlife of southwest Florida through outdoor adventures, field trips, and nature
discoveries, all while you attend our workshop.
