How are students selected? Example Recommended Selection Criteria at One Site • Minimum 3.0 GPA • Minimum B average in math classes • Outstanding behavior • Outstanding attendance • Recommendation from teacher Femineer™ Tool Kit • Cost: ~$170/kit • Piloted Program: 1 kit per person • Could also consider having 1 kit per group Curriculum Summary • 3 years (for now, but emerging) • Year 1- Creative Robotics (Kinetic Art) • Year 2- Wearable Technology (Bling) • Year 3- Pi Robotics (Self Propelling Robots) Creative Robotics: Year 1 • Cost: $125/student • Reusable materials • Programming and control platform is Hummingbird • Robot structure is open • Includes controller board, sensors, motors, and programming language interface (as in real engineering) • Visual block programming • Real wiring (it is not facilitated) • Craft materials: wood, cloth, paper, pipe cleaners, etc. (because of this creativity flourishes) Creative Robotics: Year 1 Pilot: • Met 4 Fridays during school day (all day) • Now about a 30 – 40 hour program depending on projects • Recommend minimum 2 hour blocks • Scheduling up to the school • In class • After school Creative Robotics Video Wearable Technology: Year 2 • Wearable electronics have become popular (i.e. fitness trackers) • Cost: ~$125/student, otherwise need to destroy projects to reuse some materials • Strongly suggest allowing the students to keep their creations Wearable Technology: Year 2 • Arduino programming and control platform (widely used in industry) • Uses C programming, more complex; but in a very approachable manner (modify existing programs to begin with) • Sensing, control, outputs, logic (computer language) • Try to make it personalized • Sewing with conductive thread (learn issues, short circuits, fire hazards, etc.) • Very creative crowns, hats, ties, etc. • Learn soldering • Multimeter usage Wearable Technology Video Pi Robotics: Year 3 • Raspberry Pi – it is an actual $30 computer (can connect with keyboard, monitor, etc.) • More capable than Arduino, but more challenging. • More intensive teaching, but the students can handle it. • Build a robot with a kit. • Given tasks for robot to perform, and they need to design and program Pi Robotics Video Pedagogical Results • First and foremost: • Programming: Scratch, confidence and Python, C. ability to see • Teamwork themselves in STEM • Exposure to industry standard platforms (Arduino, • Solder Raspberry Pi) • Problem solving, finding • Public speaking creative solutions • Electrical wiring diagrams • Instrument use – i.e. multimeters • Tool use Pilot Program Results • Starting Cohort: 24 students (9th and 10th graders at the time) • 2 moved out of area- can’t track • 22 went to 2 or 4 year colleges (mostly in STEM fields) • 6 are at Cal Poly Pomona-4 studying Engineering • Note: goal is to also help females develop skills and self-confidence for college success Expansion Program Results • 173 participants across 8 schools in 2016-2017 school year • 92% agreed/strongly agreed that they “enjoyed participating in the Femineers™ program” • 81% agreed/strongly agreed that they “learned to solve engineering problems in the Femineer™ program” Expansion Program Results Interested in Engineering 60 50 40 30 20 10 Percent of Respondents Percent 0 Strongly Disagree

A survey was sent to 375 randomly selected districts throughout the State requesting information about model programs dealing with any of the following: curriculum, staffing patterns, office organization, gifted programs, slow learner programs, programs for the emotionally disturbed, individualized learning, advisory committees, career and vocational education, the use of department chairmen, or other innovative programs. The returned data were organized into a taxonomy of educational programs in order to facilitate easyAetrieval. The six major categories of 1) alternative education, 2) career-vocational education, 3) curriculum, 4) instructional techniques, 5) management, and 6) special education were developed; subcategories were constructed for each of the foregoing and programs arranged alphabetically in each class. Each of the more than 800 citations in the taxonomy supplies information on the program's title, a description of its features, the district's name, location and chief characteristics, and the person to contact for additional details.

    MONTEBELLO People, Places, & Events FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK WWW.MONTEBELLOREPORTER.COM VOL. 7 NO.6 JUNE 2021 2ND ANNUAL CHALK WALK AT THE SHOPS AT MONTEBELLO TO BENEFIT THE YMCA On May 22nd and 23rd, chalk artists and families just out for a day of fun gathered again at the Shops at Montebello to chalk positive messages about the 'unity' in community and to help the Y. Artistic expression is, of course, good for the soul, as is the commission of altruistic acts, so this event truly nurtures the human spirit in at least these two ways. Fun was had and funds were raised to support the Y here in Montebello which pivoted from the very beginning of the pandemic last March to help struggling families in our community in many ways than by providing preschool care and water safety classes. When the YMCA was required by the County Health Department to close its doors for exercise classes along with other health clubs last year, the Y "opened its heart" for food distribution days (also including baby formula and diapers), drive through flu shots and Christmas toy distributions, mobile mammograms, free wi-fi for children remote learning and for family tele-med, and more. Meanwhile, YMCA memberships dropped to only 15% of those with the capacity to support the Y's good work during the pandemic, and while all Y staff were furloughed except the Operation Direc- tor, a part time staff member helping on food distribution days, and the Preschool Director who provided remote learning support to parents through grant funding, the Y relied on volunteer support and donations and foundations to cover expenses of providing its emergency relief programs delivered and to just keep the lights on.
