CRITICAL NEED
USA Needs More
� Science literate students and parents
� More college students in STEM
� More materials science and engineering students
�
NATIONAL STEM CHALLENGES� National concern about the future availability of a properly trained
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) workforce, including teachers.
� Students frequently first become excited about science, by a highly qualified, motivated and capable STEM teacher, before they become interested in science and engineering as a potential career choice.
� ASM Materials Camp uses a hands-on lab approach to teach the scientific method and advanced inquiry-based learning skills, using everyday materials as a vehicle and gateway for career exploration. This learner-focused approach features “just-in-time” information sharing, transforming previous abstract concepts into practical applied knowledge.
� Recognizing that future US engineering and science workforce needs are severe, ASM Materials Camp address efforts to enhance the pipeline of engineers and scientists.
�
Materials Camp: Unique Features� Scalable� Effective, Low cost per teacher� Multiplier Effect: High impact on students� Numerous partners involved - $ + talents� Proven curriculum and teaching methods� Efforts prior to national challenge posed
from “Rising Storm”: strengthen skills of 250,000 teachers thru training
�
GUIDING MOTIVATIONMaterials Science is a gateway
and a unifying tool to connect and integrate Science, Technology,Engineering and Math at the high school level leading students toward selection of STEM career paths.
PICK UP THE PACE “PUP”
GOALS� Double number of high school teachers
trained� Secured broad based donations to finance
expansion
�
PUPEXPANSION PROPOSAL
� Expand STEM Teacher program over 5 years to add 24 new locations to the existing 24 training locations
� Train an additional 2,200 high school STEM teachers� Provide a total of 90,000 additional hours of lab-based
STEM training� Establish 2 additional advanced level Materials Camps for
teachers motivated to offer full scale materials science courses at their high schools
� Provide “Starter Kits” of lab equipment and consumable supplies to 200 STEM teachers who opt to participate in additional 40 hours of “advanced training”

PUP Fund-Raising Program
January 2011
� ASM-Foundation Board is 100% committed to personal donations in support of PUP
� Feb. YTD contributions and pledges of $394,000 in support of fund-raising campaign
� Encouraging signs of support from individuals and Government (ONR)
��
PUPHistory
PUP Committee Conclusions:
1. External funds required, by priority focus:a) Federal Governmentb) Corporations & Foundationsc) ASM “family”
2. Need to expand # “Master Teacher”instructors
3. Focus initial growth on “key states”leaders in STEM

Materials Science in High Schools
� Integrates and connects concepts: physical sciences + math + technology thru hands-on lab experiences
� 100 + teachers teach a “materials” based high school course now, most teachers are ASM Materials Camp graduates
� Teachers report materials science content engages many students who would drop out or never consider a STEM career
�
WHY TEACHERS?
� Inspiration: Many students become inspired to seek applied science careers through practical hands-on engagement
� Mentorship: High school teachers exert significant career choice influence and are gate keepers who remove perceived academic roadblocks
� Leverage: Reaching one teacher leads to reaching many hundreds of young people
