Final Project Report NSF Award 1744490: NSF INCLUDES DDLP: Leadership and iSTEAM for Females in Elementary school (LiFE): An Integrated Approach to Increase the Number of Women Pursuing Careers in STEM

This Project Outcomes Report for the General Public is displayed verbatim as submitted by the Principal Investigator (PI) for this award. Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this Report are those of the PI and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation; NSF has not approved or endorsed its content.
The LiFE project created and studied a comprehensive program bringing together iSTEAM, holistic student growth, modern technologies, and other supports to engage girls in STEM experiences through a collective impact approach.
LiFE supported STEAM clubs with role models and utilized research-based best practices in co-design and community involvement. Educators were supported with relevant professional development for hands-on STEM, and 21st-century skills, including leadership and communication.
LiFE's goal was to impact 200 girls in grades 3-6 from four schools in 3 NJ districts. Interest in participation in the project was greater than we expected which enabled the project to expand.

Hands-on Developmental Playbook for STEM Clubs in Elementary Schools
James Lipuma, Bruce G. Bukiet, and Cristo Leon
The following guide is the result of the work of NJIT researchers, staff, and student STEM role models along with the many public and private partners including Apple and the Us ARMY. The work was funded by the National Science Foundation through the NSF INCLUDES Life grant and support from Howmet Aerospace Foundation grants. The materials in the guide have been developed and tested with our New Jersey school district partners in Hillside, Long Branch, Morris Plains, Newark, Princeton, and Weehawken. See our strategic partners section for a more complete list of partners and collaborators.

Collaborative co-design for community change
James Lipuma and Cristo Leon
This presentation will discuss several large-scale collaborative concepts like partnership alignment, collective impact, and collaborative infrastructure as they relate to collaborative change initiatives. These actions can be applied on a small scale at the individual level across an entire organization or at the system level involving multiple organizations.

Tools for Teachers a STEM for Success Guide
James Lipuma, Cristo Leon, and Bruce G. Bukiet
This guide was created through the generous funding of the Howmet Aerospace Foundation. Our aim is to capture the experiences and best practices of STEM educators in New Jersey during the COVID-19 pandemic through focus groups. This led to the development of digital resources for hands-on STEM that would be useful for student learning in an online world.

Digital Citizenship Basic Lessons
Cristo Leon
Digital Citizenship is one of the international standards for students, educators, administrators, coaches, and computer science educators to rethink education, nevertheless, the language used to present the concept to students has not been sufficiently developed in a holistic manner or with a multi-stakeholder approach. Seeking to bridge the cultural and language barriers that dived the student communities from the academic research communities. The Long Branch Virtual Expert Discussion for Student Leadership reach out to Cristo Leon to present his ideas about some basic lessons to share and discuss with their students. Amongst the challenges that the local communities in New Jersey face are: access to the internet, infrastructure, low income, lack of communication, and cyberbullying to mention just a few. The main goal of this talk is to open the discussion about Digital Citizenship and motivate the future leaders of tomorrow to take action today.

Estudio de la Plástica Cinematográfica Digital
Edgar Meritano
La presente investigación versa sobre cómo la cinematografía con todas las intervenciones digitales que en ella se hacen ya no puede ser descrita meramente desde las teorías ópticas, toda vez que se les escapa el problema de la animación, la cual tiene las mismas capacidades de generación argumentativa espacio/temporal que la fotografía animada; y por el contrario, el registro óptico deviene en una técnica más en la paleta de posibilidades para llevar a cabo una película, convirtiéndose pues, en un recurso argumentativo, y no en la esencia de lo que es el cine.
Si bien en principio se trata de describir al fenómeno desde el fenómeno mismo, en este caso particular se estudia la cinematografía con perspectivas que las teorías ópticas no han contemplado y que, sin embargo, pertenecen al objeto mismo de estudio, pero no habían sido evidentes por el privilegio del que la fotografía aún goza en cuanto a la construcción cinematográfica y teórica.
Al estudiar el cine podemos ver que éste debe ser tratado desde una perspectiva lumínica –que no fotográfica-, y por lo tanto, kinética. El hecho de que a partir de la fotografía se pueda hacer cine radica en el principio lógico de la consecución de imágenes fijas en una proyección, lo cual ata al principio cinematográfico al espacio cronológico o tiempo, con un principio, un final y una duración. La duración es particular a la cinematografía.
La cinematografía, entonces, ocurre y transcurre toda vez que sea proyectada y en el tiempo en el que ha sido proyectada, no más y no menos, su condición elemental es la del movimiento que sucede en un espacio y en un tiempo determinados y finitos, a diferencia de la fotografía que no ocurre, sino que es en tanto el soporte visual exista.
Así mismo, desde la perspectiva semiótica, este existir a través del movimiento en el tiempo, se relaciona con la segundidad de Peirce (Peirce, 1974, p. 87), que es la experiencia, es decir, ocurre al representar el fenómeno fílmico en nuestra percepción interna, nuestra consciencia y por ende, no puede ser separada de la intención, la voluntad y el sentimiento. Esto cobra relevancia, pues el uso de técnicas de animación digital o el uso del registro óptico exclusivamente, se convierten en estilos argumentativos relacionados con la voluntad e intención de los realizadores, pero reiteramos, no son, tal como argumenta Dogma 95, una división entre cine y animación ontológicamente hablando.
Partiendo de este punto se hace una revisión de diversas técnicas de animación que ponen de manifiesto su paridad con las técnicas meramente ópticas, y de la filmación con cámara digital (la idea de cámara) y los efectos de movimiento, uso de color, iluminación entre otros que son parte de la argumentación y del mensaje que cada autor imprime.
También se hace una revisión del concepto científico de tiempo y espacio, pues de ellos está hecho el cine, a través de la luz, o el píxel como unidad de información luminosa matemática que compone a la imagen digital y que encierra en sí mismo todas las posibilidades de construcción espacio/temporales.
De este modo haciendo referencia a que el píxel es en última instancia una expresión matemática, la investigación nos orilla a consideraciones casi filosóficas sobre el movimiento absoluto, pues el píxel despliega tanto espacio como movimiento generados enteramente en la abstracción de la consciencia.
