Abstract

NanoSonic will work with the Giles County, Virginia,school system,and Leidos,
a developer of ITS NanoSonic will work with the Giles County, Virginia,school
system,and Leidos,a developer of ITS and CV technologies,to create and deliver
a set of STEM lesson plans involving ITS and CV concepts. With Leidos transportation engineers, NanoSonic will identify project ideas,and with
Giles County STEM teachers and curriculum developers translate those
ideas into STEM lesson plans. NanoSonic and Leidos have strong backgrounds
in science and engineering, and Giles County educators have strong backgrounds
in curriculum development,coordinating lesson plans with appropriate
Standards Of Learning, and understanding what works in the classroom.
During Phase I,STEM lessons will be developed for Middle and High
School students. During Phase II,these plans will be used in three
Giles County schools during the first year and expanded to all Giles
County schools during the second year. The teaching effectiveness
of the plans will be evaluated using established estimate techniques.
At the High School level,the STEM programs will be coordinated with
course, college and career counseling. During Phase II,NanoSonic will
work with the Giles County school system to disseminate developed
STEM lessons through the STEM Innovation Network,the National Association
of Secondary School Principals,and other channels.and CV technologies,
