... Building the STEM Partnership Toolkit: Choosing Your Spots Carefully, Measuring Twice, and Finding Your Spanner When You Need It Gordon Kingsley, Georgia Tech Gordon Kingsley of Georgia Tech gave the address to begin Session 3. He started with some basic questions: • What are institutional arrangements that provide effective platforms for facilitating successful collaborations?
From page 24...
... Kingsley echoed a theme mentioned by a number of earlier speakers about the disparity in the size of budgets available to NASA and the entire national education field. "In fact, if we took all the budgets combined of all the mission science agencies and pitted them up against K-12 education enterprises across the country, you all are going into a nuclear battle with a pea shooter," he said.

... Kathryn Flanagan stated that she is the deputy director of the Space Telescope Science Institute, whose education and outreach program extends back decades. Previous speaker Gordon Kingsley of Georgia Tech explained that his current work involves looking at partnerships in knowledge transfer across engineering design teams and STEM group interactions engaged with the design teams.
From page 28...
... Kathryn Flanagan stated that the Space Telescope Science Institute sometimes helps scientists with communication, and many in the science community are thinking about communication as part of their duty and as a privilege. Another participant mentioned that GSFC tries to engage its postdocs early.
From page 29...
... We have three leveraging techniques we use that make a core team of four and a half people reach out to more than half the middle school students in the country and half the middle school teachers, one of which is the partners. One is that we do eventually have online access, and one is that we target our professional development for master teachers.
