    (Innovations for Poverty Action, 2022) Emma Naslund-Hadley; Juan Hernández-Agramonte
    Researchers are partnering with IPA to conduct a randomized evaluation to measure whether Itz’at STEAM Academy’s STEAM curriculum improves students’ practical skills development and holistic learning experiences. For the 2023 cohort, 124 applicants to Itz’at Academy were randomly selected to either be admitted to the school or not be admitted and serve as the comparison group. For the 2024 cohort, 145 applicants were randomly selected to either be admitted to the school or not be admitted and serve as the comparison group. IPA will be collecting data to measure indicators including academic performance, growth mindset, teamwork skills, confidence in math and science, socio-emotional outcomes, learning styles, and other demographic characteristics. Results will be available in 2025.
