The AITSE project, an NSF INCLUDES Design and Development Launch Pilot, will address broadening participation challenges specifically related to engaging American Indians in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines. Many Native students decide not to pursue STEM degrees because of their low proficiency in math and science, perpetuating their underrepresentation in STEM fields and hindering technological advancements in their communities. This pilot effort will develop an innovative strategy that integrates the talents and resources of a diverse set of partners, after-school hands-on and Indigenous-based learning/research opportunities, and long-term programming to create a transformative experience to increase Native engagement in the STEM enterprise. The AITSE Network pilot project partners will include, but are not limited to, programs affiliated with a state university, Tribal colleges, Tribal education partners, and regional middle schools.The project will use the collective impact framework to unite a network of partners to improve STEM engagement for Indigenous youth and their communities. The pilot focuses initially on one reservation in Montana and will expand to seven additional reservations to achieve the following project goals: (1) develop a network of cross-sector partners to collectively impact STEM education in Native populations; (2) increase the competency and positively influence the attitude of Native students in math and science, with a preliminary focus on middle school, through experiential and community-based learning that is culturally relevant, and (3) build community awareness and investment in STEM in Native communities and within Native leadership and governance. The expansion of this pilot project will further develop and reinforce this network to support the success and inclusion of these students through post-secondary study in a STEM discipline, as well as translate a coordinated STEM education pathway model that is infused with indigenous content to Native communities nationwide.

AITSE项目（NSF）包括设计和开发发射试点，将解决与与美国印第安人参与科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）学科有关的扩大参与挑战。许多本地学生由于在数学和科学方面的熟练程度较低，使他们在STEM领域的代表性不足以及在其社区中的技术进步而持续不足，因此决定不攻读STEM学位。这项飞行员努力将制定一种创新的战略，该战略将各种各样的合作伙伴，课后动手和基于本地的学习/研究机会的才能和资源整合在一起，并长期编程以创造一种变革性的体验，以增加在STEM企业中的本地人参与。 AITSE网络飞行员项目合作伙伴将包括但不限于与州立大学，部落学院，部落教育合作伙伴和地区中学有关的计划。该项目将使用集体影响框架团结一个合作伙伴网络，以改善土著青年及其社区的STEM参与度。飞行员最初着重于蒙大拿州的一项预订，并将扩展到七个预订以实现以下项目目标：（1）建立跨部门合作伙伴网络，以集体影响当地人口的STEM教育； （2）通过在文化上相关的体验和基于社区的学习，提高了数学和科学学生在数学和科学方面的态度，并以初步的重视中学，以及（3）在本地社区以及本地领导和治理范围内建立社区认识和投资。 该试点项目的扩展将进一步发展并加强该网络，以通过杰出学科的大专生研究成功和包括这些学生的成功和包容，并转化了一个协调的STEM教育途径模型，该模型将土著内容注入了全国本地社区。
