For over a decade, the Whitaker Center for STEM Education has sponsored a two week
event for middle school students interested in STEM. They must prepare an application to
be chosen to participate in a Summer Research Opportunity at Florida Gulf Coast University.
SRO offers a hands-on experience of collaboration on a complete and genuine research
problem from hypothesis generation and initial design, through field and laboratory
data collection, culminating in data analysis and interpretation. The SRO program
is staffed by FGCU faculty and Student Assistants and takes place each summer.
Your school is neither endorsing nor sponsoring this event nor endorsing the views

Science fair participants and STEM-interested students are invited to join us for
this special two-week event with forensic anthropologist Dr. Heather Walsh-Haney and
her amazing team! Students will research real cases through the student of bones!
They will: explore and test forensic methods of metric and non-metric analysis, use
3D scanning technologies to create and test the accurancy of casted models and compare
the models to actual bones, present their findings to forensic experts, then discuss
the strengths and limitations of using models in forensic investigations. Click here

At the Schulze Summer STEM Institute for Teachers Workshop for K-12 educators, participants
will be immersed in the research-based practice of writing and facilitating engaging
inquiry-based STEM activities focusing on the SW Florida environment. Inquiry-based
pedagogies have been shown to improve student engagement, comprehension, and retention.
The workshop infuses technology into the week and incorporates field instruction.
FGCU faculty from the College of Education and the College of Arts and Sciences and
Conservancy Staff bring a balance of expertise to you during the workshop week.
The Whitaker Center for STEM Education at FGCU takes a systemic approach to enhancing
and reforming STEM education by providing professional development opportunities for
K-12 educators, conducting research in STEM teaching and learning, developing innovative
curricula, resources, and materials, developing and supporting programs for students,
and building strong community partnerships.
The Schulze Summer STEM Institute for Teachers workshops are developed through collaboration
between the Conservancy of Southwest Florida education staff, Whitaker Center FGCU
faculty associates, Vester Marine Field Station, and Lehigh Elementary STEM faculty.
The Schulze Summer STEM Institute for Teachers connects real-world environmental research
with evidence-based, hands-on instruction.
Since 2013, the STEM Institute has worked with over 200 K-12 teachers from the five
county area and beyond!
Summer camps are also offered at the Conservancy. Your child/children could experience
the wildlife of southwest Florida through outdoor adventures, field trips, and nature
discoveries, all while you attend our workshop.
