Communications Project Support and Management: 

Remake Learning’s STEAM and Computer Science Workgroups are seeking an independent contractor or firm to develop two publications that summarize, highlight, and promote local and national STEAM and Computer Science education and implementation.  

The Contractor will lead the development, writing, design, and printing of the two publications, plus all related project management tasks. The Contractor will also be expected to maintain all Remake Learning brand and design standards within the publications. Example Remake Learning publications can be found here.    

Content for the Publications:

The first publication will summarize and share the process behind Remake Learning and the University of Pittsburgh’s NSF Alliance project. Using a playbook-like format, the publication will present key findings to a national audience and relay actionable steps for others to build a pre-college program ecosystem. 

The second publication will share work about local computer science education implementation. More details to come on this opportunity. 

The Scope: 

• Develop the content outline, narrative arc, and creative concept for each publication
