Inside ITEST: Exemplars in collaboration and career exploration in science

A new collection within WGBH Teachers’ Domain profiles six sites in the ITEST program, an NSF-funded project to support students in pursuing STEM careers. In the video, Becoming Green Energy Experts , you’ll learn about how students from the Michigan State University/Lansing Boys and Girls Club are learning about home energy efficiency, energy supply and demand and other issues related to energy use and consumption. BuildIT, a program for girls interested in IT careers “capitalizes on girls’ inherent interest in design and communication technologies, engaging girls in hands-on, collaborative, real-world experiences as they progress through 3 stages – Apprentice, Journeygirl, and Specialist.”

Teachers Domain has recently been expanding their collection of rich media materials in science and other content areas. Teachers like the ability to show small segments of video or use images or other multimedia from programs such as NOVA, Zoom, Frontline, and other PBS programming.
