* The  Manual will guide you through the process of forming an all-female team of professional engineers, engineering faculty, engineering students, and middle school teachers as well as to develop gender inclusive activities around engineering.
A free copy of the Manual can be downloaded as a PDF, by going to our Products page.
* DVD: A DVD was produced by Boston University’s Media Group/BU Productions to document the experience of students and teachers in the participating middle schools with a focus on the experience with and effects of STEM Team exposure. It includes live demonstrations of classroom curricula activities, tips, and interviews with key STEM Team members reflecting on the experiences from the project. The intended audience is teachers, professional engineers and university faculty and out reach coordinators that are interested in enriching K-12 school curricula. This DVD can be ordered by contacting: r.reisberg@neu.edu
*Evaluation Results: A copy of the project results completed by the Wellesley College, Center for Reasearch on Women can be downloaded as a PDF File.

WELCOME - The mission of this website is to help disseminate the results and findings from the NSF-sponsored "4 Schools for Women in Engineering" project.
The three-year project developed innovative and effective practices for integrating engineering into the K-12 classrooms using gender-inclusive approaches.
STEMteams -- consisting of female university faculty, students, engineers, and teachers -- brought engineering into middle school classrooms to provide not only an exciting engineering activity but also to serve as role models for young female learners.
As Engineering becomes an integral part of K-12 education, we hope that our program serves as a model for bringing gender-inclusive engineering education into the nation's classrooms.
