PARTNERSHIP

ACTION
JASON is an independent nonprofit organization that provides curriculum and learning experiences in science, technology, engineering and math(STEM) for K-12 students. The teaching models combine print and digital materials, hands-on activities, videos, online games and more for students so it can bring joy and engagement to the process of learning.

IMPACT

Over the last 30 years, JASON has progressed from satellite broadcasting to an innovative Digital
Platform and currently reaches over 5 million students nationwide engaging them in STEM
education and exploration. According to independent research, JASON programs significantly
improve student participation, academic achievement, and attitudes toward STEM careers (Duke,
2014). In addition, JASON also indirectly builds a stronger locality focused on the specific needs
of that community by changing school systems to vital community resources.

ACTION

FIRST® is a global robotics community that prepares young people for the future and inspires today’s kids to build tomorrow’s leaders. Through programs impacting learning, interest, and skill-building, FIRST successfully combines the rigor of STEM learning with the fun and exciting traditional sports and inspiration. Thousands of events are held annually and the number of FIRST program participants has reached over 2.5 million globally since 1989.

 

IMPACT

FIRST is partnering with Brandeis University to conduct a multi-year longitudinal study measuring STEM-related impacts and the exceptional results include but are not limited to 68% of the declared rate of a STEM major among FIRST alumni in college compared to 58% of peers
and 68% of the declared rate of a major in engineering or computer science among FIRST alumni in comparison with 29% of peers. Other than that, according to the research, young women in FIRST have significant gains in all STEM areas including STEM interest, career interest, activity,
knowledge, and identity compared to young women in the comparison group.
