Rural Reimagined would like to recognize Dr. Edward Lisic (Chemistry), Mrs. Janet Coonce (Chemistry), and Dr. Derrick Edwards (Counseling & Psychology) for receiving Level 2 funding ($2,500-$10,000) from our Faculty Grant Program. Dr. Lisic’s team proposed their project titled “Increasing Young Student Interest in STEM Education Through Games and Free Apps,” which will develop free educational games and apps to increase student engagement in at-risk K-12 public schools. They will employ student workers to help “test, analyze, and develop” the workability and effectiveness of these games and apps. Their project’s results will be displayed in research showcases, published in journals, and serve as crucial, preliminary data for larger grant funding. We congratulate Dr. Lisic, Mrs. Coonce, and Dr. Edwards and encourage other faculty members to submit their ideas in the future!
