This project expands and evaluates Collaborate Science (ColSci), a project-based approach designed to strengthen science and literacy learning while increasing student motivation and interest in STEM. Focused on rural and under-resourced elementary schools, the initiative prioritizes support for high-need and historically marginalized student groups.
The project has three key goals: develop and test strategies to scale and sustain ColSci, conduct a rigorous evaluation of its impact, and share findings to support broader implementation. In its first year (2025), the project concentrated on building and testing effective approaches for scaling and long-term sustainability
