About us

Mercy College Center for STEM Education creates opportunities for groups typically underrepresented in STEM to engage in enrichment activities for learning, career readiness, enjoyment and personal and community growth. This is still the only such STEM Education center in Westchester or Rockland Counties.

Verizon Innovative Learning addresses barriers to digital inclusion by providing the benefits of technology, connectivity, and hands-on learning opportunities to middle and high school students in underserved schools and communities, to help them thrive in the digital age. Would you like to be part of this digital inclusion initiative?

Mercy College Center for STEM Education (MCCSE) is partnering with Verizon and NACCE to host a summer learning initiative for middle school students, weekdays 9:00am-4:00pm from July 17-August 4th. We are seeking current K-12 TAs, graduate students or upper level undergraduates in STEM subjects to be Teaching Assistants in this exciting partnership to present the Verizon Innovative Learning Summer Program to 150 middle school students on Mercy College’s Dobbs Ferry and Bronx campuses (75 students per campus). There will be an on-site program director and four teachers for each campus.

Teaching Assistants (5 per campus) will support instructors to help students in the Verizon Innovative Learning Curriculum which includes hands-on instruction in 3D Printing, Augmented Reality, Design Thinking and Social Entrepreneurship. Instructors and Teaching Assistants will also be encouraged to supplement Camp Curriculum with STEM-focused activities using resources and experiences available on campus or through off-campus field trips (Mercy College will coordinate any field trips but we invite suggestions).

The learning day will have two hours of classroom instruction both in the morning and afternoon, as well as whole-group activities, lunch, and recreation activities. Teaching Assistants will be expected to help oversee common whole group and recreational activities. As part of the application, we ask the teaching assistants to propose one recreational activity that they can lead one day a week. Lunch is provided.

This is an exciting opportunity for anyone in the fields of STEM or Education to work with certified secondary teachers teaching using innovative technology resources.
