The life cycle of innovation emerges from of our urban centers yet its benefits elude our cities and their residents due in part to a negative innovation flow. We must harness the cycle so its benefits are no longer lost to our urban communities.

Trickle down economic development

The Black Bottom was a predominantly African American community that once existed between 32nd St and 40th St and between Walnut St and Lancaster Ave. Within these boundaries was a community based on loyalty, trust and respect. It was born of economic adversity but based on love. Their love was for their community and its members and they cared for each other as family. Everyone was helpful to one another. The children were raised together with pride in their hearts, and pride for their community. Prejudice was a stranger to the people of the Black Bottom. The walls of the community were torn down to make way for “urban renewal”. However, the sense of community was planted in the hearts of the members proving that a community can thrive even in a field of barren ground. Resistance did not prevent their neighborhood from being physically destroyed but resistance preserved it in their memories. Even today the community still meets every year on the last Sunday in August for the Black Bottom reunion at Fairmont Park. It is the largest neighborhood gathering in the history of Philadelphia. We were like a big family close together like our houses until the bulldozers of “urban renewal” came around. They tore down our neighborhood but not our spirits! The Black Bottom still is home in our hearts…

Development of the STEM Academy Program in one SDP High School

Proposed Development and Expansion of the High School STEM Academy Program

# of students per entering 10th grade class

10/27/11 Early College STEM Academy Program 29

Maximum Output = 25 STEM students per school per year (fully loaded)

YR 1 YR 2 YR 3

= Total Output of 125 STEMready students per school cluster per year

(assuming a fully loaded program by year 5)

How do we ensure equity and access while driving systemic transformation in STEM? • Implement the STEM academy model in neighborhood high schools and then expand programmatic reach throughout

high school clusters and regions.

…and then expand throughout SDP regionally

Re-Envisioned University City High School: A Prototype For Building 21st Century Urban Innovation Ecosystems

Mission and Goals The mission of Carnegie Science Center's Chevron Center for STEM Education and Career Development is to be a leader in creating and delivering high quality and effective STEM education programs by focusing on the following goals: Collaboration: to serve as a "town square" to bring together all stakeholders to collectively address STEM education in our region with a multifaceted approach that includes student programming, teacher training, business and industry needs, and government initiatives. Great Teaching: to strengthen STEM teaching at all grade levels, pre-K through 12, by helping to shape a core of highly capable and inspirational STEM teachers through partnerships with ASSET for the Teacher Education Center; and with the Math & Science Collaborative. Inspired Learners: to inspire student appreciation and excitement for STEM programs and careers to increase success and achievement in school and opportunities for a college education, especially among females and students of color. A Committed Community: to achieve, through a public awareness initiative and the nurturing of partnerships, a sustained commitment to improving STEM education through innovation, communication, collaboration, evaluation and data-based decision making from a broad cross-section of the community, including business leaders, government officials, STEM educators, parents, and other stakeholders. Vision Provide experiences for schools and the public that promote interest and participation in regional growth areas: biotechnology, information technology, robotics, advanced materials processes, environmental technology, and nanotechnology. Connect participants with leading professionals in a fun, dynamic atmosphere.
