TL;DR: The See Blue STEM Camp as mentioned in this paper was created to expose middle-level students to a variety of STEM fields and STEM professionals through hands-on project-based learning experiences in order to increase their interest in STEM.

TL;DR: By using authentic STEM workplaces, the STEM summer learning experience fostered a learning environment that extended and deepened STEM content learning while providing opportunity and access to content, settings, and materials that most middle level students otherwise would not have access to.

TL;DR: In this paper, a concurrent exploratory mixed methods study was conducted to examine prospective middle grades teachers' mathematics knowledge for teaching geometry and the connections made while completing open and closed card sort tasks meant to probe mathematical connections.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted an exploratory study to consider the ability of prospective middle-grades teachers to make mathematical connections while engaging in card-sorting activities and found that these prospective teachers tended to make more procedural-and categorical-type mathematical connections and far fewer derivational or curricular mathematical connections.

TL;DR: The Handbook of Research on STEM Education as discussed by the authors provides a comprehensive synthesis of research and presentation of policy within the realm of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education.
