Building on a successful track record to infuse soft-skills and entrepreneurship into STEM courses, Advanced Technological Education Television (ATETV), Baruch College, the Institute for Virtual Enterprise (IVE) at the City University of New York (CUNY), and Pellet Productions, Inc. are developing a series of web videos that depict students from four community colleges creating science and technology businesses, using the NSF/ATE-funded STEM Virtual Enterprise (STEM-VE) pedagogy. In this model, students assume the roles of members of business enterprises and operate their businesses face-to-face in teams. STEM-VE is a modular, active-learning pedagogical framework for delivering the content of existing IT, biotechnology and electronics courses and teaching technical, business and interpersonal skills within the context of an entrepreneurial experience. The videos being developed have three primary audiences and serve different purposes: 1) as a catalyst for interest in STEM entrepreneurship among STEM and business students, 2) as an instructional tool for entrepreneurial education within the STEM classroom, and 3) as a professional development series for faculty seeking to incorporate entrepreneurial components into their STEM classes. The first set of videos consist of dramatic and engaging reality-TV style videos showcasing students in STEM-VE classes engaged in various hands-on, real-world STEM business enterprise activities within their virtual firms. These videos are designed to stimulate other students' interest in and excitement about working with STEM enterprises. The project is also producing professional development videos showing faculty how to incorporate similar VE content and activities into their curricula, that students can also view in those classrooms.Formative assessment guides video development in the project using input from both students and faculty. The project adds to the body of evaluation results on effective practices in STEM-VE entrepreneurship education by tracking the gains in students' learning. Wide dissemination is accomplished through high visibility with other ATE Centers (many of whose directors serve on the advisory board) and through the websites of ATE TV.

建立在将软技能和创业精神融入 STEM 课程、先进技术教育电视台 (ATETV)、巴鲁克学院、纽约城市大学 (CUNY) 虚拟企业研究所 (IVE) 和 Pellet Productions 的成功记录的基础上, Inc. 正在开发一系列网络视频，描绘来自四所社区大学的学生使用 NSF/ATE 资助的 STEM 虚拟企业 (STEM-VE) 教学法创建科技企业。在这个模型中，学生扮演企业成员的角色，并以团队形式面对面经营企业。 STEM-VE 是一个模块化、主动学习的教学框架，用于提供现有 IT、生物技术和电子课程的内容，并在创业经验的背景下教授技术、业务和人际技能。正在开发的视频有三个主要受众并具有不同的目的：1) 作为 STEM 和商科学生对 STEM 创业兴趣的催化剂，2) 作为 STEM 课堂内创业教育的教学工具，以及 3) 作为专业发展为寻求将创业成分融入 STEM 课程的教师提供的系列。第一组视频由戏剧性且引人入胜的真人秀风格视频组成，展示了 STEM-VE 课程中的学生在虚拟公司中参与各种实际操作的 STEM 商业企业活动。这些视频旨在激发其他学生对与 STEM 企业合作的兴趣和兴奋。该项目还制作专业发展视频，向教师展示如何将类似的 VE 内容和活动纳入他们的课程，学生也可以在这些教室中观看。形成性评估根据学生和教师的意见指导项目中的视频开发。该项目通过跟踪学生的学习成果，丰富了 STEM-VE 创业教育有效实践的评估结果。通过与其他 ATE 中心（其中许多董事在顾问委员会任职）的高知名度以及通过 ATE TV 的网站来实现广泛传播。
