How does it get polluted? Where does stormwater go? How healthy is this water? Activities included: Exploring STEM modes of engagement (see BRIDGES framework); Stormwater sleuthing on campus, wetlands exploration of biological and chemical indicators of water health, stormwater simulation and analysis of a cityscape, identi-bead activity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f86709aeab5136366ed1dc9/3542192e-36de-4285-a9bd-07ac855484c5/IMG_2262.JPG Saturday Academies - Guiding Questions: What counts as a healthy, urban ecosystem? Why is flooding a longer-term problem? How is biodiversity affected by stormwater runoff? What are some tools we can use to tell compelling stormwater stories? Activities included: Electives (engineering activity with best management practices; exploring data with UNCG scientist; online simulations; micro-aquaria; stream tables; ephemeral pool exploration); Introduction to storyboarding and storytelling with digital storytelling tools (Twinery, co-spaces, Thinglink, StoryCreator); identi-bead activity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f86709aeab5136366ed1dc9/eb638c65-e1be-4400-922f-829fa43ee590/TM92001+BRIDGES+Saturday+Academics+077.jpg Saturday Academies - Guiding Questions: How does a local landfill/your school handle stormwater runoff? What are some engineering solutions to do so? If there are not any, can you begin to devise some solutions? What is groundwater contamination and possible causes and solutions? Activities included: Field trip to local landfill (Year 3) and schoolyards (Year 2), with data collection about the surface water quality and an introduction to engineering solutions; groundwater contamination investigation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f86709aeab5136366ed1dc9/4c826042-a153-4edc-b121-554358f2e00d/TM92001+BRIDGES+Saturday+Academics+045.jpg Saturday Academies - Guiding Questions: What are stormwater problems and possible solutions at your school (Year 2)/in a place you care about (Year 3)? What are some tools/technologies that can help you get smarter about your problem topic and possible solutions? What are some tools/technologies that can help you communicate your problem/solution to an external audience? Activities included: Studying maps of local streams from the City; summarizing lessons learned by creating “webs of experience” (photo sorts, mapping of experiences); storyboarding, continued explorations of technology https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f86709aeab5136366ed1dc9/6489d155-b2fa-4bd0-9a01-7e7b0c18bc85/CA3B0156.jpg Saturday Academies - Guiding Questions: How can we present our problems/solutions to an external audience so that they care about this problem, too? Activities included: Final preparations of youths’ projects that they then presented to parents and community stakeholders (principals, other university faculty, government employees) https://www.uncgbridges.org/summer-institute daily 0.75 2021-11-03 https://www.uncgbridges.org/partners daily 0.75 2021-11-03 https://www.uncgbridges.org/teacher-pd daily 0.75 2021-11-03 https://www.uncgbridges.org/what-is-bridges daily 1.0 2021-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f86709aeab5136366ed1dc9/1603132127472-075TCXK0C573IZEINL3V/IMG_20190620_102500.jpg What Is Bridges? - OUR VISION BRIDGES engages diverse middle school youth and teachers in out-of-school learning that integrates science, engineering, and computing to address environmental problems. The UNCG BRIDGES (BRoadening Identities for Diverse Groups Engaging with STEM) project is a National Science Foundation STELAR iTEST strategies project (grant no. iTEST - 1657194). This project advances efforts to better understand and promote practices that increase diverse students’ motivations and capacities to pursue careers in environmental STEM careers. Youth in the program engage in hands-on, field and project-based experiences, with opportunities to act as leaders and mentors to other youth. The project activities integrate science, engineering, and computing to address socio-environmental problems that are multifaceted, have local and global significance, and lend themselves to personally meaningful and authentic disciplinary STEM engagement.

and refine a pedagogical model that engages middle school youth with socio-environmental problems through science, engineering, and computing Study the effectiveness of the model in triggering and sustaining youths’ STEM - linked identities and pathways Test an updated model of disciplinary identity Study the effectiveness of the program for teacher’s STEM professional learning
