Description
Summary:This paper presents a sustainable model for teaching and outreach/broader impacts of interdisciplinary research focused on stochastic modeling, mathematical statistics, data analysis, stochastic systems, and control. Building diverse communities around learning to collaborate and collaborating to learn plays an important role in developing a sustainable model to engage researchers and students in problem solving at different levels. It is shown as a way to build communities in different settings from local to global levels. The importance of diversity and inclusion in working vertically from K-12 through undergraduate and graduate studies and beyond as well as horizontally from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, through social sciences to art and music in collaboration with academia, industry, and government is demonstrated. Curiosity, creativity, connections, communication, and collaboration are tools that drive effectiveness and success in reaching goals. Collaborations across universities with access to real data is shown as an effective tool in the classroom.
