Science Learning: Integrating Design, Engineering and Robotics (SLIDER) is a 5 year grant from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Discovery Research K-12 (DR-K12) program. During the grant period (10/1/09 -9/30/14), the program will seek to answer the question: "What effects do robotics, engineering design, and problem-based inquiry science have on student learning and academic engagement in 8th grade physical science classes?"
The SLIDER program is no longer accepting applications for Fellows. Please visit GoSTEM to learn about a related program that has opportunities for graduate teaching fellows.
