In January, individual academic departments were contacted via phone or email, and a request was made to all Messiah College educators for any additional information on graduates whose status remained unknown. Finally, information on non-responders was gathered from updated professional profiles on social media sites such as LinkedIn.

  • 2017-2018 Annual Report
    The Pennsylvania Basic Education/Higher Education Science and Technology Partnership 2017-2018 Annual Service Report Executive Summary The Science In Motion program sustained bipartisan support by members of the Pennsylvania General Assembly and was inserted back into the 2017-2018 state budget after deletion by the Governor. Science In Motion(SIM) was very eager to be able to provide hands-on, inquiry-based experiences to the participating schools in its role as the premier high school science education outreach program for the Commonwealth. Financial hardship of program funding over the past several years has forced many of the SIM host sites to reduce service area size, delay service to schools for several months, or completely stop service before the end of the school year. Of the sites that had science education specialists (mobile educators) from the ten-member colleges and universities, Science In Motion staff members presented over 1,590 hands-on laboratory experiences to 212 different schools. The program also provided an additional 6,206 drop-off laboratory kits for short term loan and offered 13 days of professional development workshop opportunities consortium-wide for over 55 teachers. Overall, Science In Motion provided 470 different teachers with 759 different labs creating 158,320 student experiences during the 2017-2018 school year. What is Science In Motion? Most Pennsylvania high schools cannot afford the modern, well-maintained equipment that it takes to prepare students for today’s modern technological careers in science, engineering and other technical fields. Modern scientific training is especially expensive as it requires multiple sets of equipment so that each student can get a hands-on, inquiry-based experience.
