Lauren Ventresca ’19, Teaching Fellow and special and elementary education major, has been awarded a STEM Pre-service Teacher Education Scholarship by the North Carolina Space Grant team.
For the STEM Pre-service Teacher Education Scholarship, undergraduates studying to become teachers will have the chance to complete a series of three NASA STEM Digital Badges, participate in professional seminars and attend a cohort field trip to NASA Langley Research Center in order to equip them with STEM-fields understanding and NASA content and tools as they enter into K-12 science classrooms. While there, the students present posters of their digital badge work to NASA Langley Office of Education staff.
The School of Education looks forward to the efforts and innovations Lauren will make in STEM education in her future career.
