With the current demand for CS skills and the focus on diversity hires in that space, there was clearly a chance to create more career opportunities for them,\u201d Dr. Ruzycki said. \u201cWith this gift, his focus is on providing these students every opportunity to develop the foundational skills that can open a wide range of STEM career paths for them.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">After meeting with Goldberg, Dr. Ruzycki designed a program that could be easily replicated and yet tailored to the localized communities where camps will be offered. And given the established links she has with various districts from her EQuIPD experience, coupled with relationships nurtured through UF\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eng.ufl.edu\/flex\/uf-innovation-stations\/\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Innovation Stations<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, she was able to quickly identify regions where she could launch the program this summer.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cWhen putting this together, we focused on Arnold\u2019s goals of teaching computational thinking and engineering design thinking and building middle school student knowledge for foundational programming skills through engaging, collaborative, hands-on design activities,\u201d Dr. Ruzycki said. \u201cThe students engage in a design activity and then work with an industry mentor as part of a team to solve a problem or actuate a task. The mentors in the camp are matched to the school\u2019s student demographics so that participants can \u201csee their future.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In addition to computational and system thinking, the five-day camp is designed to teach the students about skills and concepts such as coding and programming, process mapping, collaboration, troubleshooting\/debugging, constructive feedback, project management and real-world communication practices.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWe know that increasing children\u2019s early exposure to engineering and computer science learning opportunities, both in and out of school, helps to attract more individuals to STEM careers,\u201d Dr. Ruzycki said. \u201cThe camp is a rigorous and fun summer experience created to help build a conduit to success for students interested in engineering and computer science \u2013 particularly those groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM-related fields.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As a part of the Herbert Wertheim College of Engineering\u2019s K-12 outreach efforts coordinated through UF\u2019s Innovation Stations, the program aims to engage 7th and 8th graders from around the state of Florida through challenging educational activities not commonly available in their curricula. As a Gator Engineering Explorer, participating students will be able to envision their futures by weighing engineering or computer science as career choices and build lasting relationships with one another and UF.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cWhat we\u2019re doing is about so much more than teaching these students how to build a project over a summer break. We\u2019re surrounding them with mentors and peers who look like them, people in whom they can see themselves as scientists and engineers,\u201d Dr. Ruzycki said. \u201cWe\u2019re showing them that this is something within their reach. It\u2019s really about an investment in the future of these students and in the future of technology in Florida.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a veteran educator, inspiring, empowering and charting a pathway to success for students is something Nancy Ruzycki, Ph.D., instructional associate professor in the Department of Materials Science &#038; Engineering, has been doing for decades.
