Central Valley California STEM Activities

  • The Modesto Bee reports on recent and upcoming activities sponsored by the Modesto Area Partners in Science (MAPS), including Peter Gros's talk on the Wild Kingdom, and SETI astronomer Seth Shrostak's presentation on the "Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence" scheduled for 28 Jan. 2011 at 7:30 at Modesto Junior College.  Meanwhile, UC Merced has just dedicated the site for a second science and engineering building.  http://www.modbee.com/2011/01/18/1515833/regions-putting-science-in-its.html#ixzz1BPpdLPU9

  • The Center for Advanced Research and Technology (CART), which serves approximately 1,300 high school students from Clovis and Fresno, offers instruction in blended academic and career-technical education (CTE) courses such as biomedical engineering, forensic science, engineering, advanced communication, and global dynamics.  Data from a recent seven-year Cal-PASS study of CART students shows that a larger percentage of its graduates goes on to community college than the statewide average and local peers.  http://www.scribd.com/doc/47541338
