To date, the program has been used by over 35,000 middle and high school students and in 48 states.

Field-test results indicate that girls tend to acquire more applied science knowledge than boys and in general, that modules are well-suited for all students, regardless of race or socioeconomic status. Results further reveal that MWM modules can be taught effectively by both seasoned and less-experienced teachers.

Currently, many of the modules are being translated into Spanish to make them available to Latin-speaking areas, like Mexico, South America, and Puerto Rico. In 2005, the Centro De Investigacio en Materiales Avanzados and the Department of Education & Culture for the state of Chihuahua provided support to train 50 high school teachers in Chihuahua, Mexico. Since the 2005 Workshop, MWM has been used by 35 schools, including 120 teachers, 1200 students, and 7 cities and towns, in the state of Chihuahua. Results indicate that these modules helped to improve science achievement with these students.
