当我回想起我在小学的日子时，我记得在一个清爽的秋天早晨和我的哥哥一起上课，或者在一个寒冷的一天中捆绑起来。
我们的家离学校太近，无法获得交通特权，因此徒步徒步是我们唯一的选择。
进入I形建筑后，我坐在一张不舒服的木桌上，看着小时的嘀嗒声，因为同一位老师在一天中教授每一个主题。
我不记得当时有很多团队互动，这是'每个人都为自己'。
我也不记得老师把这些科目与有意义的工作或职业联系起来，或者让这些材料对这件事非常有趣。
当最后的铃声响起时，我遇到了我的兄弟并且回家了，但第二天早上又开始了相同的世俗日常生活。
今天，老师们知道团队合作的重要性。
让年轻人准备好在年幼时与他人互动将提高他们的人际交往能力 - 在工作场所取得成功所必需的技能。
他们还意识到，吸引学生需要亲身体验有趣和有趣的事情。
但有没有办法创建团队协作，让每个人都参与，同时教授一些重要的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）科目？
教师有创意，让每个学生都参与教育过程。
不幸的是，预算限制不允许自由统治执行他们的想法。
他们很多时候都会利用他们自己的存钱罐来购买补给他们课程的补给品。
安森美半导体总部位于亚利桑那州凤凰城，与当地的Balsz学区合作，为基于STEM的项目提供补助资金。
这使教师能够定义，计划，购买和执行增强教室材料的项目，而不会耗尽他们的个人银行账户。
通过申请流程，教师必须概述项目目标，目标以及它们如何与学术标准相关联，受项目影响的学生人数，详细预算和评估计划。
对每个申请进行审查并评分其完整性和优点。
得分最高的人通过安森美半导体的社区服务计划获得资助。
在过去的五年中，我们收到了从幼儿园到八年级的各种申请。
通过阅读目标和目标，可以很容易地看出材料如何丰富学生的教育。
一个批准的项目“回收和再利用”使学生了解回收的重要性。
与亚利桑那州立大学和从幼儿园到五年级的教师一起，学生们学习了将食物垃圾扔进垃圾填埋场的替代方案。
该补助金资助购买了一台55加仑的堆肥机，用于将食物垃圾转化为蔬菜园的堆肥。
该组合器在其轴上旋转，使孩子们可以轻松地在此过程中执行这一关键步骤。
在我访问期间，学生们从自助餐厅带来香蕉皮和其他废物，然后将它扔进堆肥机，然后搬到花园里种植土壤。
每个人都参与了这个项目，他们为参与环保活动感到自豪。
资金的另一个创造性用途是Lego®Molecules项目。
在这里，学生们使用各种颜色的乐高积木探索分子科学。
每种乐高颜色代表一种元素（IE：氢，氧或碳），并且相似的颜色被组合以显示分子中包含每种元素的多少原子。
因此对于维生素C，其化学式为C6H8O6，这可以用六个红色块，八个蓝色块和六个黄色块表示。
现在，孩子们可以直观地看到分子结构，并将相同的原理应用于其他化学公式。
最后一个特别有趣的项目是太阳能汽车竞赛。
在这个项目中，五年级学生研究太阳能，太阳能电池板的建设，以及面板如何将太阳光线转换成可用能量。
这笔赠款资助购买太阳能汽车套件，学生们团队合作制造汽车，密切关注每个套件提供的指示。
确定了赛道区域，并在四周时间内举行了一系列太阳能赛车比赛。
在每场比赛中，记录关键数据，如速度，质量，赛道条件和太阳角度。
每次举行一系列新的比赛时，都会将这些参数与之前的读数进行比较。
我有机会参加比赛，热情令人难以置信。
每个团队都在努力改进他们的汽车以获得最佳性能，以便在最短的时间内将其引导至终点线。
这是STEM在课堂上工作的一个很好的例子 - 五年级学生在幼年时就接触过技术。
我很自豪能够在一家采用教育计划的公司工作。
小额货币捐款正在对我们的社区产生巨大影响。
我相信世界各地都有类似的计划。
请随时在下面发表评论，并告诉我您或您公司支持的类似活动。
谁知道也许我们已经帮助了对方的孩子，甚至都不知道！

When I think back to my days in elementary school, I remember walking to class with my older brother on a crisp autumn morning, or bundling up on a bitter cold January day. Our home was too close to the school to have busing privileges so making the trek on foot was our only option. Once inside the I-shaped building, I sat in an uncomfortable wooden desk watching the hours tick by as the same teacher taught every subject over the course of the day. I don’t recall having much team interaction back then, it was ‘every man for himself’. I also don’t recall the teacher linking the subjects to meaningful jobs or careers, or making the material very interesting for that matter. When the final bell rang, I met up with my brother and raced home, only to start the same mundane routine over again the next morning.
Today, teachers know the importance of teamwork. Preparing our youth to interact with others at an early age will enhance their interpersonal skills - skills essential for success in the workplace. They also realize that engaging students requires hands-on interaction about something interesting and fun. But is there a way to create team collaboration, get everyone to participate, and teach some critical Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects all at the same time?
Teachers have creative ideas to get every student engaged in the education process. Unfortunately, budget constraints don’t allow free reign to carry out their ideas. Many times they tap into their own piggy bank to purchase supplies to supplement their curriculum. ON Semiconductor, headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, has partnered with our local Balsz School District to provide grant funds for STEM based projects. This allows teachers to define, plan, purchase and execute projects that enhance the classroom materials without depleting their personal bank accounts. Through an application process, teachers must outline the project goal, the objectives and how they link to academic standards, the number of students impacted by the project, a detailed budget, and an assessment plan. Each application is reviewed and scored for completeness and merit. Those receiving the highest scores are funded through ON Semiconductor’s community service program.
Over the past five years, we have received a variety of applications from pre-kindergarten to eighth grade. Reading through the goals and objectives, it is easy to visualize how the materials will enrich the student’s education. One approved project, “Recycle and Reuse” exposes the students to the importance of recycling. Working with Arizona State University, and teachers from kindergarten through fifth grade, students learn alternatives to throwing food waste into landfills. The grant funded the purchase of a 55-gallon composter used to turn food waste into compost for a vegetable garden. This composter rotates on its axis, making it easy for the kids to perform this critical step in the process. During my visit, students brought banana peels and other waste from the cafeteria and tossed it into the composter before moving to the garden to cultivate the soil. Everyone participated in the project and they were proud of their participation in an eco-friendly endeavor.

Another creative use of funding was the Lego® Molecules project. Here, students explore the science of molecules using various colors of Lego blocks. Each Lego color represents a type of element (IE: Hydrogen, Oxygen or Carbon), and like colors are combined to show how many atoms of each element are contained in the molecule. So for Vitamin C, whose chemical formula is C6H8O6, this could be represented by six red blocks, eight blue blocks and six yellow blocks. Now the kids can visually see the molecular structure and apply the same principles to other chemical formulas.

A final project that was particularly interesting was the Solar Car Race. In this project, fifth grade students researched solar energy, the construction of solar panels, and how panels convert the sun’s rays into usable energy. This grant funded the purchase of solar car kits and the students worked in teams to construct the cars, paying close attention to the directions provided with each kit. A race track area was identified and a series of solar car races were held over a four week period. During each race, key data such as speed, mass, track conditions and angle of the sun were recorded. These parameters were compared to previous readings each time a new series of races was held. I had the opportunity to visit a race event and the enthusiasm was incredible. Each team worked diligently to refine their car for optimum performance to guide it to the finish line in the shortest period of time. This was a great example of STEM at work in the classroom - fifth grade students exposed to technology at an early age.

I am proud to work at a company that embraces education initiatives. The small monetary contributions are making a huge impact in our community. I am sure similar programs exist throughout the world. Feel free to comment below and tell me about similar activities you or your company support. Who knows maybe we have helped each other’s children and didn’t even know it!
