Title:
The Sharing Cycle of Science Learning: A Method to Connect College STEM Courses with Tribal Community Topics that Enhance Sovereignty
Abstract:
The Sharing Cycle of Science Learning project's goal is to create sustainable and culturally and locally relevant chemistry laboratory experiences at Nebraska Indian Community College (NICC) and Little Priest Tribal College (LPTC). Both colleges are located in northeast Nebraska. NICC serves students living primarily on the Omaha Reservation, the Santee Sioux Reservation, and within the South Sioux City urban area. LPTC primarily serves students who belong to the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. To achieve our goal, the team developed a four-step method to connect science courses with tribal community topics.
Date: Thursday, Oct 24th from 2-3pm
