INCREASING STEM PARTICIPATION IN ZAMBIA, AFRICA – CHIGOMEZYO NGWIRA, THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY OF AMERICA, WASHINGTON, D.C.

The overarching goal of this project is to enhance awareness and stimulate further interest in Earth & space science among university/college students and lecturers, high school teachers, policymakers, and the general public in order to increase participation of students in STEM fields. In addition, there will be instruction for high school teachers (and pre-service teachers) on online teaching resources that capture the mind and motivate students to remain interested in STEM fields. Workshop-style outreach and engagement activities at three universities including the University of Zambia, Nkrumah University, and Copperbelt University will be utilized to accomplish these goals.
