It was a celebration and sharing of work redefining learning and discovery in a global context, and setting of new agendas in education, research, scholarship, and creative work to transform STEM education.
Welcome to the Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math (STEM) education portal at the University of Colorado Boulder. Here you'll find information about the unrivaled STEM education programs on campus, our groundbreaking research on student learning, our innovative tools for course & curricular assessment, and our efforts to recruit more and better students to address the national and statewide need for effective K20 STEM educators. The Center for STEM Learning is an initiative to establish the University of Colorado Boulder as a state, national, and international resource of STEM education, research, and reform.
Our Mission and Vision
The purpose of the CU-Boulder Center for STEM Learning is to improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) learning at the University of Colorado Boulder, and to serve as a state, national, and international resource for such efforts. Our vision for achieving this mission is to maintain an infrastructure of institutional support in order to transform STEM education, support education research within STEM fields and departments, and promote K20 faculty recruitment, preparation, and professional development, and to facilitate change in STEM education by integrating an interdisciplinary community of scholars, promoting, sustaining, and evaluating existing reform efforts, sponsoring new programs, advocating for diversity and access, influencing relevant policy, fundraising, and communicating with the public.
