Derae Shibata, Kevin Ryan, Saxon Knight, Kourtney Kehr, Celina Bekins, and Michael Gorman will present on their summer internship projects at Akimeka's Student Internship Symposium on Monday, August 10 from 9:30-11:30am in the PDC Training Room. The Akamai Internship and Mentor Program is led by the Institute for Scientist & Engineer Educators at UC Santa Cruz in partnership with UH IfA and is funded by various organizations including Thirty Meter Telescope, NSF, and NSO.
A decade of accomplishments in engineering education, research and diversityschulichengineering
A new era in engineering education began on June 22, 2005 at the University of Calgary. The Schulich School of Engineering was founded through a $25-million donation philanthropist Seymour Schulich and a matching contribution of $25 million from the Government of Alberta, forever changing the future of engineering in Canada.
RUN: Maths and Science Digital Classroom - Brochure (p.1-35)Mike KEPPELL
Young people considering a career in maths and
science will be fascinated by the Digital Classroom.
The virtual space is designed to inspire young minds
to the endless possibilities offered by a career as a
scientist or mathematician. Via the Digital Classroom,
Year 9 & 10 students will be able to explore the universe,
swim with the whales, discover more about the human
body, get involved with climate change, track Bessie
the cow and make their own cheese! The opportunities
and resources are endless and are available online or,
if internet access is a challenge, as stand-alone resources.
Internationally recognised scientists and mathematicians
based in regional universities around Australia share
their enthusiasm and experience with schools nationally
through the Digital Classroom and love to answer
questions puzzling curious minds.

Helping Parents Prepare African-American Children for STEM CareersRex Fortune
STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, Math
These are the skills that employers are looking for, and our schools need to prepare students to meet these demands. African American and Latino students statistically perform much lower than their white and Asian counterparts in these areas, and we are on track to a US population of more than 50% minorities by 2042. Dr. Rex Fortune outlines a program that solves this problem. Helping Parents Prepare African American Children for STEM Careers provides in-depth analysis of one program, called SMASH, that is meeting this challenge. He explores ideas for restructuring our educational system to make sure all students can learn and become successful contributing members to an increasingly high-tech society. This process specifically includes support for parents, who play an essential role in their children's academic success.
Dr. Rex Fortune received his bachelors of science from North Carolina A&T State University; his master of arts from the University of California, Berkeley; and his doctorate in education from Stanford University. In 2002, Fortune co-authored the book, Leadership on Purpose: Promising Practices for African-American and Hispanic Students, published by Corwin Press.
In his 40 years as an educator, Fortune was a high school teacher, a school site administrator, an associate superintendent of public instruction in the California State Department of Education for 11 years, superintendent of Inglewood Unified School District (USD) for five years, and superintendent of Center USD for 15 years before he retired from there in 2003.
Rex Fortune is a father of three middle-aged adults, Gwen Fortune-Blakely, Rex Fortune III and Margaret G. Fortune; father-in-law to Shaun Blakely; grandfather of two elementary school children, Lenora Blakely and Evan Blakely; and husband for the past 50 years to Margaret S. Fortune.
