Join the STEAM Lab Six!
Six undergraduates will receive a $450 scholarship this semester as part of the Public Art UHS STEAM Lab Undergraduate Cohort!
What is STEAM Lab?
With the award of our CITE Grant, STEAM Lab, Public Art UHS and the UH STEM Center are teaming up to provide local K-12 students STEAM art tours and activities that activate the art collection at the University of Houston and highlight the the connection between Visual Art and STEM and the creative practices shared between the two fields of study.
Public Art UHS in collaboration with the UH STEM Center will disburse six $450 scholarships to undergraduates in the STEAM Lab cohort for one semester. These undergraduate volunteers will have flexibility regarding participation and workflow for their tasks. Their roles will be supportive in the ways that best fit their class schedules and student time constraints.
STEAM Lab Student Cohort Responsibilities:
Creating K-12 Lesson Plans for STEAM Lab
With the aid of Public Art UHS, The STEM Center faculty, and the Public Art UHS Graduate Assistant, undergraduates will create effective STEAM lesson plans for K-12 students and include content relevant to current Texas State Standards (TEKS). The lesson plans developed will be reviewed by curriculum experts in our K-12 community.
Post Visit Survey Development
Through development of a series of post program surveys for K-12 leaders alongside faculty, staff, and the Public Art UHS Graduate Assistant, the STEAM Lab undergraduate volunteer cohort will create post visit surveys that gauge the effectiveness of CITE grant developed lesson plans and learning tactics to better prepare for future K-12 community engagement.
Total Engagement Hours Per Undergraduate: 36 per semester
Deadline to apply is March 10th, 2024
