- Writing Broader Impacts sections of federal grant proposals
- Designing effective K-12 outreach programs
- Designing distance ed courses with hands-on labs
- Suggesting ways of leveraging existing programs
- Assisting with science and math teacher professional development programs
- Providing CSU continuing education credit for teachers (NSCI)
- Designing summer camp programs
- Designing of classroom kits
- Recruiting K-12 math and science teachers for programs
- Accessing local, state, and national STEM education networks
