2017 Annual Report& Path Forward

LetteR FRom the ChAiR

Dear Friends,

For the ASM Foundation, 2017 and 2018 have been about looking forward. As the board and staff have embarked on and worked through our strategic planning process, we have been energized by the possibilities before us to continue expanding our reach to K-12 students and teachers while continuing to provide scholarships and other opportunities for undergraduate students.

Because forward thinking has been such a big part of our past year, we are providing you with a slightly different annual report. In addition to the traditional retrospective of 2017, we are including a short prospective section on our plans for 2018 and beyond through a summary of our strategic plan.

Last year in this space, I pledged to ensure we had a sustainable business model for our programs and create a fundraising plan to support the programs now and into the future. Our strategic plan addresses both of those issues and provides promise for the Foundation’s future. This is why I am so excited to share our plan with you. This is our blueprint for the next few years, which we will execute with your support and the volunteer leaders of our Foundation.

Sincerely,

2017 ASM MATERIALS EDUCATION FOUNDATION PACESETTER AWARD WINNER LIFT – Lightweight Innovations For Tomorrow

LIFT is a Detroit-based public-private partnership founded in 2014 with three missions – to enable lightweighting solutions through applied research and development; to transition those new technologies into the marketplace; and to develop an educated and skilled American workforce, confident in using those new lightweighting technologies and processes. They support ASM Materials Education Foundation’s Materials Camps for teachers, one of LIFT’s first education and workforce development investments. It has invested in over 40 education and workforce initiatives around the country, linking and leveraging existing local resources to ensure those initiatives are not just having an impact in that local area, but that they can be replicated and scaled in other regions.

George A. Roberts AwardAwarded annually to an individual who has made a significant impact to reach students and teachers, in efforts to increase awareness of materials and applied science careers.

2017 GEORGE A. ROBERTS AWARD WINNER Mr. Thomas K. Glasgow, FASMManager (Retired), Microgravity Materials Science Research, NASA Glenn Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio

This award was established by the ASM Materials Education Foundation in 2003 to highlight the importance of educational outreach and is presented annually to an individual who has made a significant impact to reach students and teachers, in efforts to increase awareness of materials and applied science careers.

Mr. Thomas Glasgow began his career at NASA in 1968, where he was first engaged in powder metallurgy and superalloys. This led to development of a process for producing silicon nitride adopted by industry and in work

with INCO leading to the launch of a dispersion strengthened nickel base alloy. Work with rapid solidification technology led to the identification of a new allow for hydrogen-oxygen engines such as those used on the Space Shuttle. Glasgow spent a decade at NASA Glenn spent managing the Microgravity Materials Science Laboratory.

His interaction with leading scientists from around the world performed ground-based research and prepared for Space Shuttle and Station flight experiments.

Glasgow now teaches several classes for the ASMI education program and works with the Foundation’s Materials Camps programs, both teachers and students when time permits. He has served in numerous ASMI committees as member and chair, generally those involved with student outreach. He became a Fellow of ASMI in 1992. He initiated the ASMI teacher grant program, now administered through the Foundation.

OUR FUTURE

The ASM Materials Education Foundation (the Foundation) is embarking on a new strategic plan through 2021. This plan lays the groundwork for expansion and enhancement of programming and products by putting the Foundation on solid footing through funding and staffing capacity. The Foundation will be expanding its ways of providing content to students and teachers in order to truly excite and inspire students. And, as always, the Foundation will continue to work together with ASM International to be sure our work is aligned and complementary.

The Foundation began in 1952, initiated by ASM International to distribute scholarships to students pursuing materials science majors and careers. The Foundation has been operating programming beyond scholarships since 2000, seeking to reach the greatest number of individuals possible. New ideas have sparked new programming throughout the past two decades, all using materials science to provide STEM education.

ASM Materials Education Foundation wants to see students get excited about all STEM subjects and see where their creativity can take them. Materials provide a theme for STEM education by tying together concepts from chemistry, physics, mathematics, life sciences, and engineering, as well as bridging the gap between abstract concepts and real-world experiences. The science and engineering of materials lends itself to hands-on learning with many engaging and low-cost demonstrations and experiments to bring active learning into the classroom.

All ASM programming can be seen as points on a continuum in sharing materials science with individualsalong an age spectrum. While the Foundation provides information to students and their teachers in grades

K-12, and sometimes 16, its parent organization, ASM International, provides information to college students and professionals in their materials science, engineering, and related careers. In this age of technology and information sharing, this strategic plan addresses the need for increased fundraising at the same time as exploring new ways to share the Foundation’s incredible content, all with the goal to reach as many students as possible with the excitement of materials science as the gateway to STEM fields.

A wide variety of organizations now provide STEM programming in the K-12 space. One of the Foundation’s strengths is the hands-on nature of the materials science curriculum for both students and their teachers. Throughout the duration of this strategic plan, the Foundation will further define our programming, its strengths and unique qualities, and how it impacts students.

One piece we are always looking to add to our work is YOU. We are happy to talk with YOU about how YOU can be a part of our progress. Open the door for the Foundation to potential funders. Provide funding yourself. Mentor teachers or students. Connect the Foundation to new ways of reaching students or teachers.

Thank YOU for all that you do for ASM International and the Foundation. We are excited to forge ahead in our new direction, with your support.

Carrie Wilson Executive Director
