In recent years, DEEPS STEP program at Brown University has partnered with elementary school teachers in the Providence Public School District (PPSD) to develop and offer multi-lesson Earth Science modules that address the Next Generation Science Standards introduced in RI schools in 2016.
In 2021-22 DEEPS STEP team is very excited to partner with Hope High School in order to expand our effort to high school students. The goal of this new CORES initiative is to introduce Providence high school students, specifically juniors, to the field of earth and planetary sciences and the career opportunities it presents. Introducing students to Earth science research and career paths in high school can open the door for opportunities in college and beyond.
