Abstract: The purpose of this data collection effort is to the support the national evaluation of the SoI project. The goal of the national evaluation is formative, that is, to gather data that will inform NASA's continued development of the program as well as to assess whether evidence supports the progression to a summative, impact evaluation. Accordingly, the study will focus on SoI's implementation and associated outcomes to identify promising practices. The implementation work will develop a description of the awardee models and their local objectives prior to implementation, revealing how the planned methods are linked to desired outcomes; the data will enable us to assess the fidelity of implementation and generate lessons learned to improve future activities.

Emergency Justfication: This initiative is a priority for NASA's Administration, Charlie Bolden

Short Statement: In 2010, NASA's Office of Education launched the SoI pilot, a NASA-infused summer experience for middle school students who underperform, are underrepresented, and underserved in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The SoI pilot utilized a multi-faceted approach to reach and engage middle school students in STEM learning with NASA content and experiences. The pilot evaluation produced valuable insight into the program and was used to redesign SoI for this year. However, it was limited in its ability to generate hypotheses about promising practices; in most cases the national evaluation was not able to field baseline surveys, necessary for assessing change in the program's outcomes of interest.
