STEMversity | Application Preview
STEMversity is applying for government grants to fund forensic workshops and lab exercises aimed at K-16 students and educators. The initiative focuses on building partnerships with schools to inspire the next generation of STEM professionals in forensic science through a program called the 'FORENSIC ACADEMY FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS (FAST).
The application highlights the importance of beginning forensic science education at the secondary level. The FAST program is designed to equip middle and high school students and teachers with knowledge in areas like drug chemistry, DNA analysis, toxicology, fingerprinting, and digital evidence. This educational approach integrates core science, engineering, and math concepts, and aims to enhance college readiness.
To execute this plan, STEMversity intends to implement a forensic summer academy for selected students and teachers, along with ongoing professional development and curriculum enhancements for science educators across Texas. The organization boasts a strong background in forensic training and has successfully managed multiple grants, emphasizing its capability to deliver a comprehensive and innovative training program. The collaboration with academic institutions positions STEMversity as a key partner in STEM education rather than a competitor.

Business Plan
I will form partnerships with K-16 schools to promote developing the next generation of STEM students in forensic science. I have extensive experience in providing forensic training to students and teachers and I have managed several grants from federal and private donors. It is important to train the next generation of STEM scientists and STEMversity is prepared to do this using state of the art training program. The program is titled "FORENSIC ACADEMY FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS (FAST) The urgency of educating the next generation of forensic scientists must begin at the secondary school level. The FAST program seeks to train middle and high school students and teachers in the areas of drug chemistry, DNA, toxicology, fingerprints, and digital evidence. The strategy is to use these disciplines as an attractive vehicle to deliver core science, engineering and math concepts and prepare students for college-readiness. To achieve this goal, the project will (1) offer a forensic summer academy program that will focus on these fields to selected students and their teachers; and (2) provide year-around professional development and curriculum enrichments for science teachers in the targeted schools in Texas.
