Sonoma State University published a story on EdEon’s $7.9 million grant from the Department of Education to enhance its Learning by Making program. This significant funding will allow EdEon to expand its initiatives aimed at improving STEM education and career opportunities, particularly for underrepresented groups. The grant will support new partnerships, educational pathways, and resources designed to foster success in STEM fields, reinforcing SSU’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in science and technology.

Last month, Professor Lynn Cominsky and Dr. Laura
Peticolas from Sonoma State University (SSU) visited Point
Arena High School in Point Arena, California.

The Learning by Making curriculum requires
technology that allows students to interact with
computer software, computer hardware, and
experimental lab setups.

This month we are excited to put the spotlight on the UC-registered program, Learning by Making (LbyM). Housed at Sonoma State University, the program offers an integrated ninth-grade C-STEM curriculum that teaches basic coding and electronics skills as part of implementing selected NGSS performance expectations in life, earth and physical science.

The Learning by Making program contains many dimensions—
from coding, to professional development, to career pathways—
that, together, create a unique and innovative STEM learning
experience.
