Title: STEM Mobile Explorer Tours
Abstract: The STEM Explorer is Delta College's custom 38 ft mobile outreach vehicle. Primarily used to impact the region's youth, faculty, students, teachers and industry partners collaborated to develop the modules used by students to explore STEM topics. The vehicle will make over 100 visits a year to schools in the Great Lakes Bay Region, as well as offer professional development for teachers and summer camps for disadvantaged youth over the summer. The tour will include a presentation on the different approaches we use with middle schools and high schools as well as what we have learned embarking on such a large project. You will also have an opportunity to interact with a few of the hands-on modules we have developed and experience STEM in a new way.
Materials: Biography and Leadership Philosophy
Biographical: For the last year Schultz has served as the inaugural director of the STEM Talent Institute. The Institute serves the Great Lakes Bay Region as a catalyst for educational change and novel solutions to STEM-related educational and employment issues. By working collaboratively with leaders from K-12, higher education, non-profits, communities and businesses, pathways will be created for exciting and rewarding STEM careers. Schultz currently serves as the Principle Investigator on two grants, a TUES level 2 NSF grant to provide professional development for Two-Year College Physics faculty during their first five years of teaching and a $4M family foundation grant to create a mobile STEM Exploration/Maker Space to provide world class educational opportunities for the youth of the Great Lakes Bay Region. Schultz has served as Chair of the Science Division at Delta College and maintains his faculty rank as Professor of Physics. Schultz has also taught high school physics.
