Abstract
The STEM CARES framework addresses a common challenge among instructors who value community engagement but may lack outreach expertise or time to redesign their courses. It provides a structured sequence of student learning activities, along with an accompanying instructor guide that includes step-by-step guidance, templates, plug-in assignments and brief instructional videos to support implementation.
Through this approach, the framework strengthens students’ science communication skills while expanding access to service-learning opportunities and deepening connections to community impact. Students design and deliver age-appropriate STEM outreach experiences for youth using the 5E instructional model.
