As part of this course, USC faculty educate both the teacher and students to use computing and communications technology for effective teaching and learning, and to use these capabilities to create a more interesting, dynamic and interactive learning experience. The STAR I Biomedical Research course consists of a cognitive emphasis in conjunction with developing laboratory research skills used presently in conducting scientific research at USC. Component 2: STAR I Biomedical Research Course Latinos and Blacks scored particularly poorly, especially in California, again ranking last. Further, the STAR Program’ s record of success stands in stark contrast to the National Assessment of Educational Progress committee’s finding that California’s primary and secondary students ranked last in science literacy among 40 states tested. 81% of those students who have graduated from university have gone onto to pursue graduate and professional school studies, 92% in health and science related fields. 100% of all USC STAR students go on to attend 4 year colleges and universities, the majority to top tier universities such as the University of Southern California, Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, California Institute of Technology, Stanford, Johns Hopkins University, Dartmouth and the Universities of California. Over 100 articles and abstracts on research conducted by STAR students have been published in peer reviewed scientific journals such as the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences and the Journal of Neurobiology. STAR mentors also provide letters of recommendation. As the majority of STAR students are the first in their families to attend college the STAR Program also assists its students with the college/university application and financial aid application process. 83% of all students at Francisco Bravo High School fall within the poverty range according to federal standards. In addition, the USC STAR Summer Research Program provides financial support to economically disadvantaged students who are compelled, due to their economic circumstances, to earn an income during the summer months. The partnership between the USC STAR Programs and the USC STAR Summer Research Program provides an uninterrupted flow of scientific learning and research during which students develop the skills and character necessary to conduct significant scientific research.
The USC STAR Program enables Bravo High School students to conduct two years of continuous intensive inquiry-based science research experience and ensures that students endeavoring to learn the rigors of scientific exploration can proceed uninterrupted for a full two years.
