This project is providing 500 fifth graders in Southern New Mexico with a diverse menu of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) learning opportunities that will continue into seventh grade for these participants. Each student will receive a minimum of 150 hours of out-of-school experiences in Special STEM Saturdays, Family Festivals, and Summer STEM programs. The overarching theme of "Adaptation to the Environment" will serve to integrate a wide range of topics and activities in the STEM disciplines. The project will utilize the rich sources in traditional cultural and the environment provided by the region (Stone Age) and strong local capabilities in the aerospace industry (Space Age). The school population is predominantly Hispanic students, with at least 35% having English as a second language. The families of these students will be recruited to participate in the project, as well as a minimum of 30 educators. Research will be conducted on the effect of the project on students' interest and achievement in STEM disciplines, the role of parents' participation on student success and the effect of high quality professional development for teachers on their interest in STEM.

该项目将在新墨西哥州南部提供500名五年级学生，提供各种科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学习机会，这些机会将持续到七年级。 每个学生将在特殊的STEM星期六，家庭节和夏季STEM计划中至少获得150小时的校外经历。 “适应环境”的总体主题将有助于在STEM学科中整合广泛的主题和活动。 该项目将利用该地区（石器时代）提供的传统文化和环境中的丰富来源以及航空航天行业（太空时代）的强大本地能力。 学校人口主要是西班牙裔学生，至少有35％的英语是第二语言。 这些学生的家庭将被招募参加该项目，以及至少30名教育工作者。 将对项目对学生对STEM学科的兴趣和成就的影响进行研究，父母参与学生成功的作用以及高质量专业发展对教师对他们对STEM兴趣的影响。
