Saturday STEM Scholars (SSS): to build academic leadership capacity of 10-12th grade students at Carver and 7th and 8th grade prospective students participating in a yearlong bi-weekly STEM exploration program. Throughout collaborative, inquiry-based classes, up to 80 middle school students will learn about engineering design, computer science, applied mathematics, and sustainability and the environment from Carver teachers and high school peer mentors. Carver’s program addresses the limited positive academic peer support network that many students in low-income communities face by training high school students to serve as STEM role models and create stronger bonds with younger students. Carver HSES will engage parents in the program kick-off, quarterly student learning exhibitions, and STEM field trips. By working with four target groups of middle schools and out-of-school programs, Carver will expand the pipeline of students qualifying for its selective high school, recognized as the premier STEM-focused public school in Philadelphia.
