This website was created to broaden the participation in NC State’s K-12 STEM outreach programs.

Parents, students, teachers, educators and group leaders can use the above navigation tools (Find an Opportunity) to find great opportunities for their children, such as camps, offered at NC State.

As a group leader, such as a Boy Scout or Girl Scout troop leader, or a teacher, you can also search opportunities at NC State that cater to larger groups, such as campus tours and special events.

If you are an NC State staff or faculty member who provides STEM opportunities for K-12 children, and you would like to have your opportunity listed on our website, please click on the above link “Learn More” under Providers to access our easy form submittal process.  Once you have been approved as a provider, your opportunity will be listed here.  In the form, there is also a place to indicate if you would like to receive more information about our common assessment tool that is being developed and implemented, and is available for STEM K-12 outreach providers on campus.

MISO Spring Workshop – May 7th, 2012

The MISO Project Team held a workshop for those who are actively involved in K12 STEM outreach activities or were interested in NC State STEM outreach programs, possibilities and evaluation.

This free, informative and collaborative expo and workshop was held on Monday May 7th from 9am to 11am, in the Wachovia room at the Friday Institute for Educational Innovation, Centennial Campus, 1890 Main Campus Drive. This workshop was open to the NC State community, and was be led by MISO Project team members Tracey Collins, Eric Wiebe, Jeni Corn, and Latricia Townsend. If you had a K12 STEM outreach project, you had the opportunity to showcase it at the Expo.

The goal of the expo and workshop was to:
  • showcase your K12 STEM Outreach Program
  • network with others and learn about their program; innovations and improvements, challenges, accomplishments and evaluation vision
  • hear from the MISO evaluation team about program evaluation capacity building and implementing an evaluation plan for your STEM program
Here is the Evaluation Powerpoint for the workshop.
