Abstract

The goal of our work is to assess student perception to STEM careers skills when in the presence of scientists in the classroom. Our school has several doctorate level scientists who have become full time teachers and who design content based on their careers as scientists. We are interested in measuring the impact of these teachers who infuse their curriculum with genuine experience and content relevance.
