Chevron Announce Global STEM Educator Fellowship
Chevron Corporation and the Fab Foundation announced the first recipients of an all-new fellowship program that supports STEM educators across the world. The Chevron Fab STEM Fellowship was awarded to Nathan Pritchett of Tulsa, Oklahoma and to Pieter Verduijn of Calabas, Aruba. The Chevron Fab STEM Fellowship is a one-year discovery program for outstanding educators to learn about, create and promote innovative and inclusive programs that teach STEM using digital fabrication and engage new and underrepresented student populations in STEM education and careers.
The program is inspired by Chevron’s social investment strategy and the global Fab Lab network, both of which foster innovation, learning and invention. Fab Labs, with their suite of digital fabrication tools and prototyping machines — including laser cutters, 3D printers, vinyl cutters and milling machines — are inspiring young people across the world to learn about science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). These are safe and accessible places to play, create, learn, mentor and invent.
The Fellowship awards a stipend of $10,000 to each selected educator to use toward creating and disseminating new, inclusive practices around STEM education. The fellows will visit a few Fab Labs of their choice, anywhere in the world, to learn, to reflect, to co-create new curriculum and disseminate new practices. Their work will be published in podcasts, online blogs and through engagements at conferences and educational events over the coming year.
