STEM East will act as the coordinator working directly with the evaluation team from the Friday Institute and six grantees: Carteret School District, Craven County Schools, Duplin County Schools, Greene County Schools, Lenoir County Public Schools, and Onslow County Schools. The evaluation team will create a sustainable plan to enhance the evaluation capacity of the grantees; develop STEM education tools, process, and practices; and, assess the impact of the program using common outcomes.
