Description
The Center for Educational Outreach is a team of scientists, engineers and educators dedicated to inspiring and preparing elementary, middle and high school students in Baltimore City for exciting science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) college majors and meaningful, high-paying STEM careers. One specific program that the Center supports is STEM Achievement in Baltimore Elementary Schools (SABES). SABES is a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded collaboration between Baltimore City Public Schools (City Schools) and Johns Hopkins University. Its purpose is to improve educational outcomes in STEM disciplines throughout Baltimore City’s elementary schools. Specifically, this five-year project focuses on improving STEM curriculum and delivery in grades 3 - 5 at nine schools in three targeted communities (Greater Homewood, Greektown/Highlandtown and Park Heights).
