Abstract

ABSTRACT Increasing student interest and success in STEM education is a top priority for many postsecondary educational institutions. One well-documented approach to both priorities is to have students participate in a Course Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE). Faculty from several technical colleges and universities in Wisconsin teamed up with the Tiny Earth organization to offer a CURE to address the search for new antibiotics. Students enrolled in undergraduate microbiology courses engaged in research and participated in community outreach. To involve the community, faculty from various institutions joined an NFL team, the Green Bay Packers, and created the Tiny Earth in Titletown symposium. Here, students presented their work via scientific posters, to community and industry members, and networked with other scientists from around the region. The Tiny Earth in Titletown symposium started in 2018, was held again in 2019, and returned in 2022 following a 2-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Record attendance in 2022 suggests that community outreach and education may be helping restore trust in science that was lost during the pandemic.

社区参与解决抗生素危机
提高学生对STEM教育的兴趣和成功是许多高等教育机构的首要任务。一个充分证明的方法是让学生参加课程本科研究经验(CURE)。威斯康辛州几所技术学院和大学的教师与“小地球”组织合作,提供一种治疗方法,以解决寻找新抗生素的问题。参加微生物学本科课程的学生从事研究并参与社区外展活动。为了让社区参与进来,来自不同机构的教师加入了美国国家橄榄球联盟(NFL)的绿湾包装工队(Green Bay Packers),并在Titletown举办了“小地球”研讨会。在这里,学生们通过科学海报向社区和行业成员展示他们的研究成果,并与来自该地区的其他科学家建立联系。“Titletown的小地球”研讨会于2018年开始举办,2019年再次举办,因新冠疫情中断2年后,于2022年再次举办。2022年创纪录的出席人数表明,社区外展和教育可能正在帮助恢复疫情期间失去的对科学的信任。
