Date and Time
Tuesday, February 2, 2027
Description
The purpose of the STEAM Education Fellowship at Pierce Cedar Creek Institute (PCCI) is to nurture the development of promising students interested in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) education as a profession. STEAM Education Fellows will work with education professionals and scientists at PCCI and with other organizations, gaining skills in developing innovative teaching practices and leadership skills to support STEAM community outreach and environmental education initiatives at PCCI and the surrounding area. Fellows will complete a variety of assigned tasks and have the opportunity to learn aspects of research and natural resource management.
Students will work with PCCI staff to conduct STEAM educational experiences. Students will be trained to lead hikes, plan community outreach programs and events, assist PCCI staff during programs and events for the general public, and do other work as assigned. Tasks also will include working with volunteers and sharing experiences and results with the larger community. Students are expected to complete an original STEAM-based project during the summer. Project ideas will be developed with PCCI staff based on student interests and background.
Fellows can earn up to $6,000 and will need to complete a weekly timesheet. Students will be paid biweekly based on the number of hours worked (up to 400 hours over 12 weeks).
