The Noyce project at City Tech is supported through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship program and has partnered with the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC) to implement this program. This is the Phase II of the NSF Noyce project. The main objective is to address the problem of the STEM teacher shortage in the United States, specifi cally in New York City. The program’s mission is the development of K-12 New York State certified Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics teachers, mainly in Technology and Mathematics fi elds. Training for pre-service STEM teachers involves a variety of teaching internships, scholarships and summer program workshops and is based upon the successful previous Noyce program. Using the Engagement, Capacity, and Continuity Trilogy model, this program expands the impact of student experiences in STEM education. The vision of this project is to contribute to a systemic educational infrastructure that provides high quality STEM education that will prepare students to become effective teachers of tomorrow. This is year 2 of the second National Science Foundation Noyce Scholarship grant awarded to City Tech, offi cially starting in Spring 2020 under pandemic conditions. The total budget awarded to City Tech was $1,444,398 starting May 1, 2020 until April 30, 2025. In the past year and a half, approximately 100 CUNY students have been recruited for internships, scholarships and summer programs. The program’s goal is to recruit and train a total of 25 K-12 STEM teachers in this fi ve-year grant period. Our first National Science Foundation Noyce Scholarship grant with a total budget of $1,418,976 ran successfully at City Tech from January 1, 2014 until December 31, 2019. This first grant resulted in the development of 20 talented K-12 STEM teachers to teach in local high-need school districts to address the chronic shortage of STEM teachers and involved over 600 Noyce interns and summer program students. The harmonious collaboration among City Tech, BMCC, local New York City public schools and the external evaluator created a solid administrative environment and maximized the effi ciency of this program.
